I love riding gravel and road and currently have one bike for each. I’d love to shrink my bike footprint in my shared garage and have been reading a lot of great things about titanium frames. My ideal setup would be a Ti bike with rack mounts and a second wheel set for road riding. Any suggestions on bike models or manufacturers I should look into?
EDIT: Lynskey is having a pretty crazy sale right now. Might spring for this GR300: https://lynskeyperformance.com/gravel-special-shimano-grx-600-2×11/

Titanium do it all bike for $3k? I’m in the UK but you guys have a great company called Blackheart. They’ve just released a Aluminium do it all bike. Thought you’d be more around that price point.
Can probably get a ti frame for this price. Lotsnof great aluminum options out there. I have the grail al 7 its phenomenal

I just got a Vitus Substance with GRX and DT Swiss wheels. I have carbon, titanium, alloy and steel road bikes. This is alloy with carbon fork. I’m surprised how fast it rides on 700×40 tires. Some bikes may be going away soon.
buy a cx frame with big tire clearance. it can front as a gravel bike, a cx bike, and a road bike all with some tire swaps and be great at one aspect of cycling g and good enough for the other two.
How about cervelle aspero
Judging by the number of Lynksey posts on here I think I’m not alone in having gone the gr300 route. Sold my road bike and retired my old gravel bike to the parents house. I still have a tri bike, hardtail/ rigid alu bike and a rigid steel 29+, but I sorta thinned the herd? I’d be happy with just the Lynksey gr300 and a hardtail. Couple options under $3k right now on Lynksey site, someone out there might also know of additional promo codes.
