Very happy with the Rondo HVRT. I got it second hand and rebuild it with different components. Running two wheelsets, one 700 for road and another 650b for gravel. Didn't ride gravel before, I only had a road bike, so just the fact that this bike opened that route for me is amazing. I wouldn't say its any slower on the road either, compared to my previous road bike (caad10). You do get two bikes in one, not the best gravel or the best aero, but certainly quick/capable enough for me.

Looking for advice as it's new bike time for me. I'm replacing my road bike, which I ride a lot, and my gravel bike, which I ride a bit. Based on that, I think I'm after a road bike that can take wider tyres once in a while. I have a mountain bike for anything rougher than the sort of #nogravel pictured above.
At the moment I'm thinking of a Standert Pfadfinder. The road geometry with the option of having some 650b wheels to throw on is particularly attractive. What else is there in this category that I should consider? Framesets plz (got most components on the other bikes), with the Standert about the most I would want to spend? Open to materials other than steel.
