My new used bike, description said the levers were scruff'ed, but it was only sticky residue which I wiped off! For all intents and purposes I received a brand new bike! This was the only Shimano GRX equipped/hydraulic brake gravel bike I could find in the $500-800 USD price point. Everything else under $800 is Shimano Claris equipped or lower with mechanical disc brakes. I'm definitely keeping my single speed bike, all this wiring and gearing seems a bit excessive for those times I just want to cruise for fun!
I stayed up until 3am putting it together and adjusting everything. Aluminum frame, GRX 400 groupset, except for the front gearing which is a FSA tempo crankset, hydraulic brakes and WTB nano 700 x 40c tires. It's a size down, but I'm a 'tweener height so I can ride the smaller frame with long stem and it feels fine. Bike definitely looks solid!
I really like having my thumb bell!
