It started with the goal of having a bike I was a little less precious about. Something I could commute on, ride gravel trails with in winter, and maybe use for gravel races. But when you know what you want, it doesn’t end up cheap anyway. The result has become a fantastic bike. I didn’t know what to expect from the frame, but so far it has seemed really good. Stiff and comfortable in the right areas. The wheels are absolutely great. The tires are brilliant on asphalt, and good enough for the kind of gravel riding I do if I run them at slightly lower pressure.
