you can always put skinnier tires on a fat tires bike. You already know but I think for how "gravel" racing is going that this a great bike.

The frame alone will probably cost more than my complete Canyon bike, but I really like the looks of it. I don't think there's any way I can justify to myself a gravel bike quiver!

Durango MTB World Champs, John Tomac, Yeti, drop handle bars.....If his tyres had been skinnier he would have riding a gravel bike!

Yup, they should totally be paying him to ride that.

these are 2.1 WTB, they could actually be widers than John Tomac's tires.

No, just no. :roflmao:

Well, it's gonna take a stronger denial than that :) Witness:

2014 Specialized Epic full suspension : 70degree head angle, 623mm front center in size medium (1085mm wheelbase)

2020 Specialized Diverge EVO5: 70degree head angle, 674mm front center in size medium (1092mm wheelbase)
2020 Salsa Journeyman: 70 degree head angle, 631mm front center in size 57 (1061mm wheelbase)

That so-called-MTB from 2014 has a frame geometry directly comparable to a current Moots Routt in size 56 - except the Moots has a tighter, climbier rear triangle (1052mm wheelbase)

Cowchippers atop them all, Cowchippers to wind them
Cowchippers to steer them all, and on the fire road find them.
