I could see why you think that haha but I am not but south jersey if that’s close enough.
As for the bike, it’s a tank and I’m sure I could take it on some gnarly gravel. The 44t chainring might be tough on steeper sections however. It is also about 25-27 pounds so it’s a bit tough. My main gravel bike just got out of commission a couple weeks ago so haven’t had a chance to give this All City a true go |

My Fairdale Rockitship - moved on last year but was an excellent value for an all-road/gravel bike.

I’m waiting on my Fairlight frame but got this LHT for free and rebuilt it as a flat bar gravel/dad bike with XTR brakes and Real levers.

Just dropped in to say I love this thread.
Can't believe it was started in 2013! Hundreds of pages of great bikes. What strikes me is in 2013 a lot of people just decided road bikes that clear 700x28 are adequate gravel bikes. That morphed into rim brake cross bikes and mid reach road bikes being people's gravel bikes. A lot of people built their gravel bikes on a severe budget. And look what we have now. People's 'A' bikes are gravel bikes, thru axles, disc brakes, huge tire clearances. Love the evolution. |

28s work fine in some condition. The first half of my ride on Friday could have been done easily on 28s, but the second half, not so much. Three inch gravel used on Oregon logging roads would destroy a 28mm tire while my 43mm GravelKings handled the chunky gravel nicely. In So AZ, sandy sections of our gravel roads would swalllow a narrow tire.
All that being said, when conditions permit, people should venture off pavement with 25-28mm tires. It's fun. Quote:

Just refreshed my Black Mountain Canti MC as a dirt tourer.

Minimoto brakes? What size tire- 38? Cool build- did you drill the lighting wire hole and set that up on your own?
My Black Mountain MC moved to commuter/touring duty shortly before the pandemic and since I now work at home it hasnt gotten many miles. It has a front and rear rack on now and thats overkill. I am thinking of dropping the rear rack, adding a porteur rack, and using some mini-v brakes. It has 35mm tires and fenders right now. |
