Not as fancy as most of the others but my latest iteration of the old, junky Orbea Cabestany has it set up for packed gravel road riding.

Threw some knobby 700 x 32 tires on it and flat pedals with SPD clip-ons on one side.

Of course for those not knowing the lineage of this old beast. Pedro Delgado raced one of the Cabestany's to a Vuelta win in 1985 as well as a Tour de France stage win that year riding one of these. Somehow this one made it to the U.S. even though Orbea was not importing to the states back then.

Setup with 8 speed friction shifting right now but I've ran 10 speed on it with no problem. A modern RD paired with those super smooth Mavic DT's shifters work amazingly good. A rough ol' girl with a parts bin build for now.
