whewtang on December 26, 2024 10:47 pm They sure can big guy! Now go on along now and enjoy your 650b rigid mtb before someone here calls it a hybrid.
DeficientDefiance on December 26, 2024 10:48 pm I don’t know, I guess so? At what point does it stop being a gravel bike?
austinmiles on December 26, 2024 10:51 pm That is basically a rigid mountain bike from the early 90s with much better component. But that’s really what gravel is as a whole.
GMWorldClass on December 26, 2024 10:57 pm Gravel bikes either gotta have sub 50mm tires or drop bars. Sorry thats the rules. I need this and it would look great next to my Cutthroat 😊
szouek on December 26, 2024 10:58 pm 100% full circle to XC with skinny tyres but without the potential of unlocking the front suspension. Kinda ok but I rather go for xc
