FS: 2018 Specialized Diverge Expert Gravel Bike
**SOLD - March 2022 - $3k**
Selling a great bike that I’m sure I will miss…

Carbon Fiber Frame/Fork - Gravel / Adventure Road Bike
Model year 2018 (purchased new Fall 2017)

Thinking $3000 to local Jackson mag
This is an awesome and versatile bike - I’ve owned it new since 2017 and have put miles on it city riding, during casual commuter trips, fun weekend bar crawls, long road rides, gravel slogs, it’s climbed steep mountain passes, and has cruised on speedy dirt single track! This bike really is a great crossover bike for everything but true mountain bike terrain. It can handle being purely a road bike (you could always opt for smaller tires if you ever only ride in dry paved conditions). It can handle hardcore gravel stretches. Light enough to climb. Stable enough to descend. Fun to go on an evening stroll. But also burley enough (with all necessary mounts) for bike packing and adventuring. Perfect for the greater Teton area. Truthfully.
Selling because I haven’t ridden it as much this summer as in seasons past (been running more), and am potentially looking for something a little different in the future when the time is right. That said, I know I’ll miss this bike… especially this fall and next spring, as it’s the perfect bike for getting out and adventuring even in less than ideal conditions, when less capable bikes wouldn’t feel quite at home.
Bike is in good shape - components have lots of life left on them and run smoothly. After every clean and a light tune, it runs great. I’ll be happy to clean and tune prior to a sale. Tubeless Teravail gravel tires are practically new with only about 80-100 miles on them. Wheels are true. Bottom bracket, head tube, axles, etc are all smooth and silent. Probably about 200-250 miles since last full tune at local bike shop.
There are a few scuffs, scratches, and dings on various bits, bars, and frame. All superficial. None impacting function or performance. This bike really is mostly pretty clean/good.
Pedals included if you would like them. Price negotiable. Dual sided - flat / clipless.
Grab it for the fall season or for early season 2022 riding! Open to reasonable local offers. Thanks for looking!
Let me know if you have any questions… happy to schedule a test ride in the greater Jackson area. Shipping a bike is $$$ right now - but if you are interested in covering the shipping cost - willing to ship.

Interested - mind giving me a call? 406-548-4488 (major forum n00b here ... I seem not to have PM permissions... possibly because I haven't logged into this account in years.)

tEmPtAtIoN... Haha - thanks!
Awesome - thanks! Worthy bike deserves worthy care!
Plenty of clearance on them - I think the frame/fork are clear for up to 47mm (if I'm not mistaken). 42mm is a sweet spot for me. I liked the stock 37's actually too - rolled noticeably faster. But I ride for fun/fitness not necessarily time - so the comfort trumped.-deej

Bump for spring-like temps and the feeling that bike season might be here sooner than later...
