Not my cup of tea at all. Edit, I'm possibly missing something.

Nope, I know built by an excellent builder. It just doesn't speak to me.

You tried adding sugar?

It looks like a Taiwan built frame with his usual Mish mash of parts to me.

I wouldn't. Nice enough to look but not a practical all year round multi terrain bike. For me, the modern gravel bike idea, or maybe call it a disc-braked 1x cross bike, is what I waited over a decade for. The clay where I live makes rim brakes and front mechs practically unrideable off-road for half the year.

Very happy with mine, takes a bunch of camping gear nicely (and still rides nice when weighted down) plus it sends hard on loose and crunchy surfaces, whilst remaining comfortable over longer distances. It has adjustable geometry, but I have to admit that the couple of times I've tried swapped about the front about I've struggled to really be able to tell much difference (although, to be fair, I've not had it long and I've only tried a couple of times).

Front mechs?
