The Fezzari Shafer AL is the least expensive model in the brand's line of Shafer gravel bikes, and the only one that is built around an aluminum frame. This entry-level bike has a sleek design and comes equipped with budget-friendly but quality components that are ready to get out and explore the back roads straight out of the box. The moderate gravel geometry is quite easy to get along with, and while it doesn't necessarily feel racy, it performs admirably on both the climbs and descents. With a surprisingly light weight &#40;for an aluminum framed model&#41; of 21 lbs and 11 oz and a stiff aluminum frame paired with a rigid carbon fork, the Shafer AL feels responsive and efficient, and it is best suited to smooth gravel, pavement, and the mellowest of singletrack trails. While it may not have as many accessory mounts as some of the other models we tested, we feel it is still quite versatile and could handle everything from casual gravel rides with friends, jumping into some gravel events, commuting, road riding, and even bikepacking with frame, handlebar, and seat-mounted bags.  
While it's hard to argue with the value proposition of the Shafer AL, we do have a few nits to pick. It is a rigid framed bike, and, not surprisingly, we found it to be a bit harsh over some of the rough gravel we often encountered while testing. We also found the relatively slick stock tires to offer less cornering, braking, and climbing traction than we would have liked, and the thin bar tape wasn't the most comfortable on the hands. It also has fewer accessory mounts than many other models we've tested, limiting your options for attaching gear to your bike, comparatively. That said, we feel this is a great option for riders getting into the sport that won't break the bank.

 I really like the Fezzari and Canyon because they are direct to consumer. Really great value for money.

I'm familiar with the world of MTB and have a hardtail &amp; full suspension each in the $2000-2500 range.  Both have Shimano Deore 1x12.  

I'd like to get something w/ disc brakes &amp; good shifting - even if it's not high end.  I plan to casually gravel bike.  

A couple friends have Orbea Terras and like them.  What other bikes should I consider in this price range?

Gravel Newbie: Which bikes to consider for &lt; $2500? Important component considerations? (I'm familiar with MTB)

 We're running a larger offset at 50 millimeters on the fork and that was a design decision that we made in order to keep that trail number. Um, you know it's really technical. Uh, you know, with some of that terminology, it's basically that contact patch of that tire where that's sitting under that under that wheel by. you know Past, they have the typical round seat clamps that if you over tighten them or things like that, it would actually break the seat post

 Um, with that that allows that front end to stay stable as the roads get rough and and things get, uh, you know, maybe you're on gravel road or getting into a little single track, you still have that front end stability. But we also wanted to address with that slacker head tube angle, how do we keep the slow speed turning quick? And that was with our fork offset. We're running a larger offset at 50 millimeters on the fork and that was a design decision that we made in order to keep that trail number. Um, you know it's really technical

 And that's custom quality. Direct through our 23-point custom setup that I mentioned a little bit earlier, we fit the bike to each individual rider. So for instance, if you're five foot ten and have a 31 31 inch inseam, the next rider is 5 foot 10, have a 35 inch inseam, and they're going to need a different stem length or crank length or or bar width or something like that to fit their proportions to their body size. Instead of taking that medium or large size frame and just thinking, here's what comes on the bike

Shafer | One on One With The Product Manager

 Of course, the clutched rear derailleur keeps things quiet on even the roughest terrain.

Sizing: I’m 5’11” and found the medium to be a good fit using a 110mm stem. I think a large would be better with a 90mm stem and more inline with how Fezzari typically recommends.

Fezzari Shafer Elite Campagnolo Ekar Review - FeedTheHabit.com

 The chainstays are still pretty short at 430 millimeters, and that's despite having tire clearance for 700 by 50 mil Knobbies front and rear. As far as the bottom bracket goes, you get a pretty generous 77 mils of drop, so you have a nice low center of gravity again for nice stability. So while you do have that extra stability from the longer wheelbase and that longer front center, you can still steer the front end around pretty easily thanks to that sort of quicker geometry up front. Another thing that's nice about that longer front end is if toe overlap is something that really bothers you, this one has very little of it, particularly given how it has bigger tires

 A lot of carbon frames are claimed to be you know, they called monocot construction basically one piece. However, in almost every one of those cases, what you have is a one piece front triangle that's bonded to separate chainstays and seat stays in the case of the visari. However, the entire frame really is made as one piece. It's a true monocoque according to Fizzari

 There's another water bottle mount underneath the down tube. You've got top tube feedback mounts. You've got another set of mounts up here for a repair kit front and rear fender mounts. You also have anything mounts on each fork blade, so there's plenty of carrying capacity

 The front center is a lot longer, the top tube's longer, the stem is shorter, and and the benefits of that setup are just like what you have with other gravel bikes that use that sort of new school geometry. By pushing that front wheel further out in front of you, you have a little bit more stability. you can really kind of charge and push the butt, push the front of the bike through slippery corners. It's a lot more confidence inspiring when things get really slippery, especially when things get steep out back

The Decathlon Triban RC520 Disc Road Bike is an intermediate road bike at an incredible price point. It has the features of much more expensive bikes and is a great choice for anyone from a beginning road rider to a more advanced cyclist who doesn't want to break the bank.
Key Features:
- Aluminum Frame – This frame material balances light weight, stiffness, and durability.
- Shimano 105 Groupset – The bike has 2x11 speed drivetrain with disc brakes. It is the best groupset available at this price point and uses trickle-down technology from Shimano's top-end groupsets.
- Lifetime Warranty – The manufacturer provides a lifetime warranty on the bike's frame.

 It is one thing that's a easy upgrade, but that's pretty common with entry-level bikes. Usually They're built for robustness and not speed. Here's a close-up of the crank, this is a non-series Shimano crank. It looks very similar to 105 though, so it really fits the bill pretty well

 Here's the front caliper again, same issue you have post mounted TRP HY/RD A little bit bulkier. With more expensive bikes. They will be flat mounted which gives it a much sleeker appearance. Also The cable routes here is a little odd, and it does have to come all the way around instead of going through the fork

 Now Let's talk about the drivetrain,. I Really like the Shimano 105 drivetrain on this bike. Unlike A lot of entry-level bikes which have eight or nine speed clunky drivetrains, this generation of 105 is really crisp and clean.

. As A result: you have this endurance geometry, you'll note it has a tall head tube here. That brings the front of the bike higher up and it gives you a more natural riding/\s/position and more neutral handling. Also Note that they've included a dropped seat stay design as you can see here

Title is kind of self explanatory, but I'm looking for a solid bike for around $600. I know some bikes at this price range aren't really worth it, but I really don't want to drop a grand on a bike. I'm looking to go on decently long rides, so an endurance bike would be preferable. I have a background in mountain biking, but I don't want to have to drive up to the mountain to be on 2 wheels.

Looking for a good entry level road bike

 I purchased the medium frame and I am 5'9, so bang in on the size for me, I would say anyone at this height who wants more comfortable geometry should go up a frame as my seat is now a good few inches over the top of my handle bars. All in all the bike is solid, flys around with no issues and nobody moaned with the free try outs at my bike club. What went down very well there was the paintjob and the fact it looks different in light and darker conditions. The only niggle is the positioning of the rear gear cable, it seems to pop up from under the frame a bit early and if my right foot is out of position my heel can catch, this is not a problem when I have my cleats (Shimano A530s) on but is a problem for stop and start riding

800kms report - Just over 2 months

Size wise, it's slightly bigger if you comparing size S for both Triban 520 and Giant TCR, though by not much more.  I had to swap the stem to 60mm to keep within my comfort reach.
