Thanks so much. I really appreciate it.

Basically, my bike tastes are split between roadies and sport/tour/cyclocross, i.e, GG. The great thing about gravel grinding is that it is a reincarnation of 12-year-olds riding balloon tire Schwinns on backcountry roads and paths. Pure adventure!

Check out this thread for the C&V perspective:

Actually, I think you nailed it.
-- Steel (great steel, as a matter of fact)
-- Sport/Tour geometry
-- Room for wider tires and fenders.

Yeah, I think you nailed it.

I've always like the Gunnars.
