In terms of spec, as a fixed gear & vintage road bike enthusiast I'm concerned about the plethora of standards (wheel axle - BB - brake - chainring - gearing) in this space...
How do you feel now after few pages of recommendations on performance, standards that change every season, and will soon be as obsolete as a 1 inch Girvin Flexstem?
I love your collection of bikes, there's a beautiful consistency in their heterogeneity (to paraphrase an old teacher from uni), what would happen if it all become eroded by all this performance/market driven cacophony of flat mounts and hydro and whatever... Nothing wrong with it, but is it really you?

In terms of timescales, I'm in no hurry, I've scant time for faffing these days so I'll be moving at glacial pace through design decisions/minutae & component selection/procurement so it'll be a slow mover.
This will also give me time to get a last few rides in on the 4 bikes to be culled as part of this development!

I'll be reliant on the sagely wisdom and bullshit-radars of LFGSS-fam to discern what's useful and necessary within the mists of shite that appear (to the casual onlooker) to be swirling around the gravelbiek world...
