That’s a nice looking bike. Love a steel frame!
Just a question. noticed the brakes are cable. Is it common for road/gravel bikes to not run Hydraulic ?

Nah, just the price point. I’ve had those brakes, they’re the best of the mechanical brakes.

Scott Speedster 10 Disc - 105 Alloy Disc
Scott Addict 20 Disc - 105 Carbon Disc
Giant Contend AR 1 - 105 Alloy Disc (All Rounder) wider tyre clearance than SL1
Giant Contend SL1 Disc - 105 Alloy Disc
Giant Defy Advanced 2 - 105 Carbon Disc (Endurance $$$)
Merida Scultura 400 Disc - 105 Alloy Disc
Bianchi Inpulso All Road 105 - 105 Alloy Disc
Focus Paralane 6.9 - 105 Alloy Disc
No Specialized (hydraulic brake models too $$$)
No Cannondale (Synapse 105 is cable brake)
What brands am I missing?
