I totally agree with RDY about drop bar MTBs. It's growing and many people are waiting for those to come and bring some more tire clearance and some suspension to gravels.
Of course dropbar MTB don't need 120 mm travel suspension, they typically target anything that is smaller than 100 mm.
However I don't agree about the need of 2x front gear or anything bigger than 44t 1x which is already an overkill for an mtb/gravel bike. Every other suggestion made by RDY is true.
Here is how Spcycle's SP-M06 fits vs Spcycle's G068. If you'll press "Shadow Bike" button, it will be seen clearly that only small adjustments are needed to transform SP-M06 to a frame suitable for a dropbar.
GeometrySo i kindly ask spcycle to tell us, if they will target dropbar mtb's, cause I'm starting to build one now and want to see a frame to start with.
