That’s the exact reason I like this.
It’s noticably longer than the CAAD12 for example, but when you’re ploughing along at 40kph+ it feels like a road bike.
I guess that’s partly due to the way I’ve set it up quite aggressively.Will be able to confirm this after a few more Maidenhead commutes, and likely some winter road bike duties as the weather deteriorates, but it reminded me on Saturday how much fun and how comfortable a road bike can be if you set it up with some comfy bar tape and big tyres(40psi), with the added benefit of ear to ear grins throwing it down 25% gravel/mud/leafy hills at 55kph+ realising you’re probably a little bit out of control should any braking be required, as this is not tarmac!

How does it handle dude? As you may have seen in CP I’m on the low key look out for a frame that handles like a road bike rather than a gravel bike but that will take fatty rubbers.
