road/gravgrav/touring bike
Sound idea. I feel like the three can be blended well into a single bike outside of normal daily use. You going proper chunk or mostly road touring?

Would probably want clearance for 700x45 max, only just started thinking about it. CDF is this at the moment, Yorkshire roads are terrible so 35/38 tyre like voyager hyper is loads better than 23/25/28 road tyre. CDF a bit heavy, mainly due to the wheels, but does the job well. In 2 minds of whether I keep or sell my Donohue 853 road bike, it’s so fast but only clears a 23 at the back. Decisions decisions.

Not currently, got an SP disc dynamo wheel I’ll probably use next winter .
Long game thinking about selling my Kepler, moving bits of this and the Kepler onto my CDF frame and getting a more special frame to replace the CDF as road/gravgrav/touring bike. (Possibly a Ted James if I can get the cash together)
