• I realise this is a long shot / strange question, but there’s a Brothers Big Bro for sale around here with drops and decent kit. I’m intending to use it more as a gravel bike but the idea of carrying stuff is interesting, though not much of a priority.

    In the best of worlds I’d get a midnight special but this is way cheaper so thinking it might work for gravel duties?

  • I bought one thinking I'd do that but it was more of a mountain bike than I really expected so didn't end up going down that road - not that that means you couldn't, but if I was to do the same again I'd get something more gravel and less of a proper 29er.

    YMMV though...

  • Did some rough geo comparisons and I think I’d struggle to get a good position. Shame as I like the idea of repurposing it.
