Funky Posted June 26, 2018 Share 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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted June 26, 2018 Share Do any of these base model Alu gravel frames come with a BB30 or PF30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro5614 Posted June 26, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnavel Posted June 26, 2018 Share Both good bikes - depends on whether or not you want a 1x or 2x drive train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon P Posted June 26, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahari Vegmot Posted June 26, 2018 Share What about building up a Farr frame? Farrnus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepia Posted June 26, 2018 Share 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, Edited June 26, 2018 by Sepia Kalahari Vegmot, TALUS, Farrnus and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolspin Posted June 26, 2018 Share 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
