I was looking at bikes. Saw the marin dsx flat bar gravel bike.

And it is QR.

I get it its a budget bike.

The question is why do manufactures make hybrids and flat bar gravel bike budget bikes?

If they made them of higher quality, through axel and at least deore groupsets. And if they wasn't lead bricks.

I guess I'd blame manufactures for hybrids having a bad rap. They are very useful fun bikes, but they only come in turd flavor.
