The House is blowing out bunch of Framed gravel bikes and stacking their coupons depending on their price.
Code: SAVE15 gives you $0-$499 15% OFF, $500-$999 20% OFF, $1000+ 25% OFF
There's 7 different gravel bikes, each with different level of builds. Only highlighting TWO here
The bargain budget bike is the
Framed Brasswood - SRAM Apex 1 drivetrain with 1x, carbon fork, 15x100/12x142 thru axles and frame clearance for 47c tires. For $652 its an excellent way to get into gravel without needing to spend $2K. Other than the smaller rotors (can upgrade to 160mm) and mechanical brakes (is at least quality TRP model) not many faults.

For $220 more, same bike but upgrade to carbon wheels with DT350 hubs. For me this was a no brainer when the wheels alone sell for $700.

If you want nice carbon or Ti gravel bike, search the site. These go up in price but for $1818 for Ti Brasswood with carbon wheels, you would be spending $3-4K for something equivalent.
Few important notes: Code code (SAVE15) allowed once per account/email, Freight is $35-50

If your problem are the carbon and Ti bikes with mechanicals, yes agree. Framed cheaped out when everything else on the bike is decent. You are correct.
But dismissing a sub-$1K entry level gravel bike because it has one of the best mechanical brakes out there? Its not they are Tekros like Trek offers on their $1500 bike or Specialized offers on their $1300 bike. This bike is HALF the price of those.

My problem with these gravel bike deals is that the 1x11 drivetrains aren't really enough for me. Add in the cost to upgrade to 1x12 or 2x11 or consider one of the builds already in 1x12 and the bargains are still decent, but not outstanding enough for me to jump on.
Likely yes
Wheels by themselves were 50% off. Similar wheelsets are about $700 street price https://www.the-house.com/qpuc713...ike-wheels

While that's true, replacing the (rear) brake housing with compressionless will make these actuate as direct as it gets, and get pretty close to hydraulic in overall feel. (Source: own a bike with these brakes and two with hydraulic breakers)
