Do you recommend any sites about learning more about bikes? Like what are the types of parts and recommend part brands for newbies? I do know that (from BikeLIne) I am a 56 and I want to get a gravel bike that can be switched to a road racer. I tried googling but I am getting pieces here and there, not all the info I am looking for.

I was not impressed with BikeLine before the rep was more intersted in selling $5000 bike(way out of my budget) to me instead of a lower entry bike($1000 to $2000)
