Price: $1,000
i'm hoping to get into cycling after i start school here this fall, so i'm currently looking for a beginner friendly, versatile road bike that's also suitable for 20 - 30% off-road adventures, or just a simple gravel bike.

i'm female, about 5'4, so definitely size S & 50 or 52cm

some models i test rode recently and really liked include

Trek Domane, Checkpoint
Specialized Diverge
Kona Rove

i'm kind of on a budget here, so the ideal price range for this bike would be anywhere below $1000, but I'd happily accept a price reasonably higher than this threshold if the bike is spot-on and in good condition!

i'm located about a 45min drive south of campus until i move in mid-September, so if you're in the area and are ok with it, i would love to take your bike out for a test ride!

thanks!!
