Very nice!
I'm curious, would you be able to make a pie chart with who is buying gravel frames from you, vs who is buying road frames?
I feel that in continental Europe, gravel is not too popular, and i suspect it's very popular in the US.
So, pie chart 1 could be gravel frame sales per shipping destination: US X%, Germany Y%...
and pie chart 2 could be road frame sales per shipping destination.

I'm in Europe, and nobody around me has even said the word gravel in months. I have 2 gravel bikes in a friend's attic i havent touched in 1y. And the other gravel frames i built for friends are being used with road tyres only...
That'd be very cool to see.

Good question.
In Italy the gravel mania have just dropped the top and the gravel market is in a downward spiral.
Every weekend in my area (larger Venice area) you can find a gravel event (race or ride) with high fees, aero carbon wheelset, overpriced craft beer, mustaches + lumberjack shirt.

I own a road bike I use only for training and a gravel bike I use for commuting and "adventure", not speed...just fun and explore. In fact I never use my trail cannondale Habit...

In-frame storage part of those plans?

Sounds like a danger for rattle noise!!
