Lolo-
Perfect size imo, though I imagine it'll fit 650b hoops as well.

Depends what you mean by 'gravel'. IME most of UK off-road rides usually involve some amount of trails where that's not an appropriate tyre size. But then again usually also sections where it's entirely excessive
-
38mm tyres not big enough for gravel anymore?
It's more the limited choices really, like having an MTB with 1.95 tyres and expect it to do everything perfectly well.

Of course they are, just everything else about that bike screams road bike to me.
Pidgeon-holing bikes which kinda cross boundaries is stupid in any case and this bike would be plenty capable on a lot of towpaths and fire-roads but the point I was trying to make was more that I hope that this kind of more versatile road bike is the new normal - that a specific gravel bike is a bit less neccessary.

Tbh I think it's in the wrong thread, as nice as it is. Hopefully we're looking at what will be the new normal in road bikes.
