Gravel needs...

[esseff]

As if road and mountain bikes are not enough, I’ve determined I need another reason to spend more time away from my loved ones. Enter gravel bike. Riding would be mix of fire road and single track and of course the pavement to get to it. Lots of climbs.

Need:
Carbon or ti
630+ or close stack
Complete or not adverse to building it myself
1x
Prefer GRX
Internal routing (hate some of the huge cable ports on top of DT (Lynskey, Aspero, etc).

After a lot of reading, I think my needs are more in the middle of the the mountain geo (BMC URS, Kona Libre, etc) extreme vs the road geo (Aspero, etc).

Is this possible on a ~$4k budget? Diverge expert in a 61 ticks the boxes but I doubt anyone deals $ with that brand. Argon dark matter has the stack and decent build but not a lot of real reviews.

Suggestions? Any shop guys out there with inventory?

Looks like Knolly has a cache ti in stock in a 60cm, which will work: https://shop.knollybikes.com/collect...18491579138146
