Funky Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Hi All, Hopefully some of you can provide some valuable advice please. I am looking at getting a gravel bike, and been looking at these 2 models below. https://momsenbikes.com/bikes/gravel/gp300/ https://silverbacklab.com/product/siablo-105-2/ They both retail for about the same price (+/- R17000), and am undecided on which to go for, so looking for some input. I don't want to break the bank, hence this is the price range I am looking at, as I already have a road & MTB, so this will be my 3rd bike. Any views/thoughts on the about 2 bikes, or any recommendations on other ones to look at. Thanks in advance,
Simon123 Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Go look at the Giant TCX. https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/gravel-bikes/products/giant-tcx-slr-2-2017 https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/gravel-bikes/products/giant-tcx-slr-2
Ry86 Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Hi There If you need any further information on the GP300, or a stockist close to you please contact me via sales3@twowheelstrading.co.za Regards Ryan Hi All, Hopefully some of you can provide some valuable advice please.

Jewbacca Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Do any of these base model Alu gravel frames come with a BB30 or PF30?
Zorro5614 Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 The Merida Silex 400 is also decent value with hydraulic brakes http://cyclefactory.co.za/shop/bicycles/merida-silex-400-grave/ And the Momsen GP300 is just below R15 000 at Bike-Addict
Schnavel Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Both good bikes - depends on whether or not you want a 1x or 2x drive train.
Brandon P Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Another option is the 2018 model 105 kitted Cannondale at R17990 https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/gravel-bikes/products/cannondale-caadx-se-105-2018
Sepia Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 What about building up a Farr frame?By Farr the best option. Pun intended. If I did not already have a GB, this is what I would do,
Coolspin Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 saw the Momsen GP300 on the road the other day, very nice looking bike, I like the relaxed geometry and the 1x drivetrain. the other bikes look like road bikes with thicker tyres and discs, somehow not quite "gravel bikes"
