• Road bike geometry with gravel bike clearance, does it exist?
    I know people say consolidating bikes doesn’t work, however I have 2 bikes which I am completely happy with for their purposes, a caad12 disc for road riding and an Arkose for gravel and commute but I would like the arkose to feel more akin to an aggressive road bike, it sometimes feels a bit boaty and slow and I’d like the caad to be a bit comfier for long distance (bigger tyres).
    However it seems if you go for bigger tyred frames then you get slack geo and if you go for steep angles you get 28c max.
    I don’t have custom frame money also I’d prefer alu or carbon
    Think I want the moon on a stick.
    Road race geo
    42c tyre clearance
    Guard mounts
    Internal cabling
    Don’t need racks, don’t really need thru axle

    i like the look of the cfr505
    they'll do custom stuff, e.g. extra bottle mount under DT is only $20
