Wanted: Tourer/Gravel/Dad bike

As per title... might sell all my bikes and get one that is actually suitable for riding long distances... at a decent pace. Commuting with a heavy rucksack on a track bike thats slightly too big is kinda joyless.

Open to near anything but I want a build that can have guards and panniers, single ring up front and discs... not sure if thats a bit "moon on a stick".

54/55cm I think as I am 5'10.

Budget dependent on what ya got.

Come at me.

I have a Genesis Croix de Fer. It’s the all white one. Lovely all rounder.

thats literally the state of cycling in 2018/19

I know, I know... I wanted to resist but I have such a joyless commute now.

Pics/Price/Size?

Pretty sure it’s a 54 mate I’m about 5,7 and it’s beaut for me.
I can send pics tomorrow when I’m back from work.
It’s the same as this but without the mudguards.

But also, still hunting folks... frame or bike.

Might part with a Ti Enigma Etape disc...54cm with carbon forks, bars and seatpost, Sugino ox901D cranks (165mm...44/30), Shimano 105 still 11 speed shifters and full 105 hydraulic brakes with 160mm rotors, DT Swiss hubs on Archetype rims with Vittoria Rubino tyres...frame bought from Enigma last year....The frame comes with full mudguards and placement for a rear rack and possibly a front one. The rack I have on the bike I will keep for my next project...i am laid low by flu...so if you are interested, I will post some pics in a few days.

That sounds quite special. Any idea of price?

I will send you a pm
