3. Sirrus X3
4. Trek fx3(out of stock in my place)
Other options will be buying a gravel bike and do a flatbar conversion, since alot of gravel bike comes with 1x setup.
Any opinion?
Marin DSX 2 no question! Carbon fork, 1x12 Shimano Drivetrain and the widest tires out of all of them as well as those tires being tan walls!
Trek is out for many reasons but proprietary thru-skew B.S. is high on that list.
Sirrus X3 is OK but not a fan of the aluminum fork.
Polygon has a mix of low end and some decent parts and price is low but you cannot test ride as I believe they are online only
