I m looking for a bike made not for Gravel but for road and compatible with trips but as I Can see only Gravel frames have bolts for bikepacking. As it will be used 90% for road I d love to have Aero shape.
Build two bikes, or find bags that do not need bolts ;)
As a fellow bikepacker, I'd strongly recommend going for a gravel bike. Not for the bolts (I only bolt on water bottle cages), but:
- Aero frames make 0 sense for bikepacking. As soon as you strap on bags, you lose whatever small advantage you could have gotten from an aero frame.
- Aero road bikes have a fit that's made for pro riders, not regular people. For long slow rides, you'll appreciate the comfortable fit of a gravel bike.
- When carrying bags, you'll want to fit some bigger tyres anyway, so you have more comfort and better puncture protection. For road bikepacking, I usually go for around 35mm.
Let's road frame with aero, and gravel with bikepacking.
our gravel frame, made in Den Mark.

What frame is it?
Those are Light Carbon frames. Good frames, but there's nothing "Made in Denmark" about them.
I used one for bikepacking last year:

Which frame is the "Nynke" one??
@sTz: This one, I presume:

Since I think almost all Guerciottis are catalogue frames these days, if you can find a Chinese seller of the Escape G, it might suit you ... but apparently only 42mm clearance which is a shame.
Anyone know who makes / designs it?
