Hello,

I currently have a carbon cx bike and an aluminum hardtail that I also set up rigid from time to time. Recently, the cx broke and it has been an issue getting parts. I am toting the idea of selling it. I am thinking at replacing with a steel build. But with the hardtail, that I sometimes run rigid, I am having a problem justifying it. I see a lot of overlap. I had the cx bike due to racing CX in the past and no longer. I do not plan on racing gravel and only participate in events with the intention for riding. For what it is worth I have a carbon road bike as that is my first love. My question: talk me in to buying a steel gravel frameset or out of buying one.

Thanks!
