Best Value Gravel Bike max $2k

Title says it all. I’ve scoured the used market and just haven’t had any luck due to needing a S, XS, 49, 50 in size depending on brand. I have a local Trek store that’s 20 minutes away. I have a local Specialized/Cervelo dealer that’s an hour away and that’s about it.

Been mostly looking at the Checkpoint ALR4 and Diverge E5 (multiple models). The Cervelo dealer has a new 2024 Asperi Apex 1 that’s marked wayyyy down to $2k as well.

I’ve also looked at Poseidon and a couple other DTC brands. I keep coming back to the Checkpoint ALR4 but I’m open to feedback on anything. I do have an older Diverge Pro coming in a different deal but I’ll probably trade it on or sell it since it’s a little older.
