Convert hybrid to gravel for less than 350 US dollars?
Convert hybrid to gravel for less than 350 US dollars?I bought a second hand hybrid bike a couple of years ago. Using it mainly on rough bike paths, so a gravel bike will suit me better. Is it possible to convert such a hybrid bike into a gravel bike for less than 350 US dollars? The bike is originally a Merida Freeway Redwood. Frame sixe 58 cm. I am 51 years old, 181 cm tall. Most important is to get dropbars. Will 1x11 groupset be an idea for this? Also curious whether a shift of wheelset will make the bike better. I am living in Scandinavia, so I use European online stores. Please let me know if you know any good online offers.
