Seems like a nice bike! Not sure if you ever watch Seth's Bike Hacks, but here are a couple videos about it with some ideas regarding useful upgrades down the line.





He does suggest some brakes which might be helpful for you.

This 'gravel' bike could be the best deal in bikes anywhere, for $248
..a gravel bike isn't a cyclo cross bike or a mtn bike

700c wheel is the same as a 29er in diameter

Really surprised that one of the best budget options is an Ozark Trail model. (In-house Wal-Mart brand.) Then again, one of the best budget options for a tire-inflator (cars and bicycles) is the current one made by Kobalt. (In-house Lowes Hardware brand, ironically made by a 3rd party.)
