Hello. My name is Mert. I am new in the forum. I am from Turkey. Just telling becaouse you have an idea 1 dollar is 5.5 liras. I want to buy a bike which i will use for commuting and rearly for tours. It is gonna be my secont bike first was a trek4300. ı thougt gravel bike is a great option but if i have a gravel and a endurance road i would have used the road more probably. I wrote on some facebook accounts i have around 1000£ and it is huge money for me. Roads are bad even the asphalt but there are a lot people have road bike here. (They had manipulated) ıt is was one wheel price for them. Is it gonna buy a garbage for 1000£ Ups! When i said my friends i wanna buy a bike with 1000 £ it makes 7000 Turkish liras. They Bewildered really.. beyond.. I am not sure about riding a disc brake road bike on this road. I wondered if anyone in Mersin(my city) had a gravel and regret because didn’t prefer a more specific road bike in my opinion it must be fun but not sure about the usableness. In the other hand can i buy a bike is gonna make feelable difference between the decathlon bikes with that budget. I asked one has a big shop in Istanbul. He interested surprisingly good. We decided to buy a Merlin gravel bike indeed he does sell brands like cannondale trek etc. Not UK brands. Everybody does not know those. mosso salcano bianchi etc here Actually first we were considering a topstone.
and my question is what should i buy a road or geavel ? A pinnacle , a topstone , gt , merlin, or.. ? Around 1000£ ( less is better )o
