Adventure/Gravel Bike for under £700

jimjazzuk

Hi all,

I'm looking for an adventure/gravel (possibly cyclocross) for under £700. My main aim is to have a road bike with more versatile tyres so that I can go down canal towpaths etc. Drop bars desirable and weight kept to a minimal (10/11kgs max). So far all I've managed to see in person is this:

It's in my price range and seems to have reasonable specs - any thoughts on this bike?

Many thanks for your recommendations,

J

Thanks guys. Unfortunately the Boardman is not available in my size. Excuse my ignorance warrior4life, but what makes those bikes better than the Dark Peak one I posted?

Hi guys,

Still on the look out for a bike. What do you make of these:

Some options here. Have heard good things about the Vitus. Don't know about the Verenti (although that's over your stated budget).

Thanks will check them out!
