Steel 'lifestyling' frame.......


 Yes- that's what it has gotten to. Sure, I build lots of serious CX racing frames and gravel frames but hey- some times you just want a bike to go out and do just about anything on. Here's the one that got picked up today. It has dropper routing, rack mounts and three places for bottle cages. It will take 700x45 tires and maybe a bit more. It has a Jen Green white bronze headbadge and oddly enough, its not all that heavy. Forget the $ 200+ entry fees or driving all day to get to the spot where all the other sprinter vans are parked with the outdoor showers, little solar panels to run the computer to stream the shows that one doesn't want to miss simply because of a camping gravel race weekend. Just open the garage , jump on your bike and see where it takes you instead of you taking it for an all-day car ride ......that's what this bike is about . But- you can still do a gravel race on it and I wouldn't think less of you...
