I have a Planet X Tempest. Bombproof, I really like it.  
In the UK and budget checked.  
When everything else is broking, there is still the Tempest.

I gave a lot of thought to Sonder but the wait time put me off.

Just to clarify, the Canyon is coming tomorrow, I don’t need any more recommendations 😂

Agree, it’s always the option. Just check the bike and details carefully. I purchased my Schwinn(exact [model](https://www.bikethesites.com/gravel-bikes-under-1000/#product3)) this way - 2x cheaper and condition near to perfect!

Appreciate this is years ago now, but how did/do you like the grail 6?

Hi

Bike has been pretty solid, no issues at all. I think I would go slightly higher spec next time and a 1x setup.

Thanks Patrick
