The Haro Buzzard LTD 2 as my first bike?

A bike at a local shop. It apparently has all the features I would want in a bike (hydraulic brakes, 2x10 drivetrain, road-ish), but its from a seemingly lesser known brand than for road/gravel bikes. Wondering what people's opinions are on it. My other options at the moment would be the Poseidon Triton, Polygon Stratos S4, or a Canyon Endurace allroad if i decide to drop a whole bunch more money on this.

Looking to buy a road bike in the U.S., looking for advice

I’ve been hoping to make the transition away from my Peloton onto outside cycling, and well, the amount of options are crazy, and the prices are so high. I’d be using the bike 2-3 times a week at least (I use my peloton about 5 times a week right now).

From talking to local bicycle shops, they suggest that I should be looking to get a road/gravel bike, a drive train with 10 gears at least, and hydraulic brakes.

I’ve tried out a Specialized Allez, Trek Domane, and a cannondale, and at my budget (1500 is the hard limit) nothing has the features I would like. I did find a Haro Buzzard Alloy LTD 2 Gravel Bike for 1300, with all the features I want, but it seems too good to be true. I tried out the bike, and it seems fine? The most expensive bike I tried, the specialized allez sport, felt way better, but that is closer to 2300 than 1500. I plan on checking out a used Poseidon x ambition this weekend, but I prefer to buy new. Though buying online is possible, I’d prefer to buy local.

I’m wondering if anyone in this subreddit has experience with the Haro bike, and if yall got any other suggestions for me. Thanks for the help!
