Realized I haven’t posted mine yet, so here’s my Felt Broam 40 I got a few months ago. Love the bike but it admittedly needs more love and it gets much more pavement than non. Don’t see Felts around here much and I think that’s a travesty, ha.
Pretty much bone stock except for Surly Truck Stop handlebars, Wolf Tooth bling, and Arundel tape. Added Spurcycle bell and PDW lights front and rear almost immediately, then the REI top tube bag (to be replaced by an Oveja Negra bolt on soon) and the Farther Bags handlebar bag.
Not overly happy with the Maxxis Re-fuse 40mm tires just because they seem slow, but I liked them enough to get the 32mm Gen 2s on order. They’ve been good for durability on my few miles of crappy Memphis streets and teensy bit of mild trail and the new gen seems to have addressed some of the rolling resistance issue, so we’ll see.

I was on that bike in a 54cm for a few years. Served me well bikepacking and for a 300km gravel event. It’s a good bike.
Some side load bottle cages must be better on such a smol frame. Looks nice though so have fun.
I have the same bike and love it!
I know what you mean about the tires. With my bike I recently swapped out some Terra Speeds (tubeless) and with the style riding I do will never look back.
