I'm all about fat tubes. I'm also attracted to the corrosion resistance for winter road bike duties but from what I see on the market, companies seem to make heavier/more relaxed/slower bikes for All-Weather/Winter/Audax bikes. I don't want to go any slower just because I've fit mudguards.
Truth be told I'm thinking of designing it, having a couple manufactured to spec, painted and potentially offering them for sale/starting a micro brand which should hopefully be cheaper than the big brands (and a lot cheaper than going to a UK or US framebuilder) whilst also being cooler.
I don't want to be churning out On One style gravel bikes though so I'm not sure if there's enough interest in the sort of bikes I personally like
This is what I'm counting on
