My former language student and a good friend Hoan from Hanoi, Vietnam got his first authentic bicycle; a gravel road bike called Checkpoint ALR5 from TREK. I own the same model, and I'm pretty confident that I can recommend to anyone. I found it on Mercari, a marketplace for used items, for about 60% of retail price. A gravel bike such as TREK Checkpoint should be suitable for Hoan who is expecting to move back to Vietnam. There are lots of gritty unpaved roads in Vietnam, and it rains quite often in South East Asia. He's not interested in riding for speed either. So, a gravel bike that can have wide tires and strong disc brakes from reliable manufacturer looked perfect for him. Since it's the same model as I have, I can guide him on maintenance too. This time, we went for his first real cycling debut.
