Come on back and visit . . .
Oh that's definitely the plan. I'm gonna be doing Bay to Breakers in May. I'm way out of biking/running shape at the moment so I'm forcing myself to get my ass into gear before then

Be careful. Compass tires are really addictive.

Wow! Can't wait to see what you are cooking up. I love your current rig. Plus the adventures you share photos of here.

Cool bike Houston!

I have a couple "gravel bikes":

The pistachio Strada Bianca:


The navy Zanconato gravel bike:


The Hampsten has caliper brakes and the Zanc uses cantis. Both use traditional road geometry (73/73 and 73/72.5) and 70mm+ drop bottom brackets, so definitely aimed toward road use. Both also use downtube shift routing, which I prefer on any bike that's not a dedicated cx bike.
