My take is that I really appreciate to have as little stuff as possible. I don’t want a stable of bikes, multiple wheel sets etc.
That’s my main reason for my gravel bike; commuter, touring, off road (crossing mountain passes), roadie fun, etc.
It fit the bill for everything, it just doesn’t shine well when compare to a thoroughbred road bike (unless it’s the carbon Trek Checkpoint).
Its interesting to hear your thoughts on this. Obviously you’ve put some thought into it.
My take is that I really appreciate to have as little stuff as possible. I don’t want a stable of bikes, multiple wheel sets etc. I get that some do and why. Anyway, I value the fact that my bike can be almost road bike and almost xc mtb. To me this jack of all trades master of none is a good thing.
