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.

Outstanding job detailing budget bikes!!!

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.

Excellent video. Forwarding this to my brother in law who might be shopping in the near future.

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.

Great job Ty, lots of good deals out there right now!

Good advice. Just ride. Find a bike, within your budget, that excites you and motivates you to get out turn the pedals explore your neighborhood and your limits. You don’t need the best bike. You need only the best bike for you.

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!

I use both Marin Nicasio and Polygon Bend R2 for different feel (Steel vs Al). Prefer the Bend R2 for more relaxed riding position

You should take a look at the tommaso bikes from Denver.

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'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.

Great video love it! helped me out to choose out a bike. But I highly recommend you looking at commuter/gravel bike "Marin Muirwood (2023)". Highly underrated bike, and is built like a lightweight tank. Its also under a 1000 dollars/euros/pounds and its just a bang for a buck.

Keep crushing it Ty!! Merry Christmas bro!!

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.

Good content I recently bought my first gravel bike the specialized diverge E5...pleased with it apart from squeaky discs..thanks for comparison. Crofty

[richardvaughn]

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!

[vicsophios]

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

Thank you for pink bike, I hope it’s better than the scam ridden marketplace

FYI sir some of the Journeyers forks (such as my 650b Sora) are a Waxwing carbon fork :).
