Great job Ty, lots of good deals out there right now!
-
Excellent video. Forwarding this to my brother in law who might be shopping in the near future.

Keep crushing it Ty!! Merry Christmas bro!!

Outstanding job detailing budget bikes!!!

I started riding drop bars (for gravel and adventure riding) from having ridden a flat bar MTB since the 1990s - on a 2019 Poseidon X - I built up a frame from them with a Sora 2x9 drive train and some TRP, HYRD hydro cable brakes and it was great, I put about 3,500 miles on it before I wanted to upgrade, mostly for geo reasons. I can never recommend Poseidon enough.

Great picks ❤

Great vid, thank you!
-
Killer video brother 💪🏼💪🏼

Good content I recently bought my first gravel bike the specialized diverge E5...pleased with it apart from squeaky discs..thanks for comparison. Crofty
-
Thanks for your video, good information.
-
Great video. I don't have thousands to spend on a bike and would like something that's decent that I can get in an hour or two ride on without breaking the bank. This certainly has helped point me in the right direction. Thank you.
-
I have an older (pre-Ambition) Poseidon X, discounted to $699 when I got it, after the Ambition had come out. Excellent value, crisp drivetrain, just a bit wonky proportions. Fun bike for light gravel riding.
-
Pretty interesting to see the Redwood regular price has been reduced to 850, with some colourways on clearance for less! I wonder if they're soon coming out with a new model
-
I'll be getting my kid into gravel this coming year. Definitely going budget for his first drop bar, but looking for a quality frame that is upgradeable for the next few years. Outgrowing the frame in 2-3yrs, then hopefully ge still likes riding. 😆 I bought my wife the Salsa Journeyer flat bar (microshift). I'm not super impressed with it at the price point. Axles and brakes are pretty limiting.
-
As someone with a Checkpoint SL5 that so far has required a new rim, a new brake caliper, a new shifter/brake control and a re-epoxy of a chain guard I fell like quality is not aligned with price. I wish I had this video prior to buying my first gravel bike!
-
Speaking of Polygon, they have a new kid on the block that's worth mentioning. 2024 Tambora G4. Released second week of January and currently at $799, it's the closest competition the Poseidon X can get. Btw, thanks for the great video!

Mercier Kilo GX R20 on Bikesdirect, $999. Reynolds 520 steel frame and fork, Shimano GRX 2x10 and GRX hydraulic discs, 700x40 Maxxis Rambler tires, fits up to 700x50 tires.
-
I actually would have bought the Salsa after test riding it as the geometry felt perfect for me. It was the mechanical hydraulic brakes that didn’t do it for me. I ended up buying a Bombtrack Hook EXT which wouldn’t fit into the price range of this video
-
I use both Marin Nicasio and Polygon Bend R2 for different feel (Steel vs Al). Prefer the Bend R2 for more relaxed riding position
-
Marin dropped the price on the four corners for 2024. It’s now $999. I think the four corners is a nice adventure bike and it has more mounts for this year as well. I just sold my 2023 to fund a GT Grade purchase, but plan to pick up a new four corners eventually.
