  • I also have a self-inflicted problem involving trying to make three bikes one bike. I want a bike for everything, and that includes sort of fast road rides, gravel as far as that exists here and bikepacking/touring. Two bikes is a bit too much for the space I have. Right now I have a Battaglin Speed roadbike which feels a bit too small, and a Specialized Sequoia from 1993, which is a few sizes too big. Plus, canti's suck.

    My current thinking:

    • Buy a Brother Mehteh frame, sell both the Battaglin and Specialized. Get two sets of wheels and do everything.
    • Buy Surly straggler, keep the Battaglin.

    Thoughts?

  • It is perfectly possible to ride one of those bikes in all of the ways you want. But it won't be good at them all. Which is your most often type of riding? You'll never get a fat clearance gravel bike to feel fast on the road
