I find it really funny that it can only handle up to 50mm tires, but has a freaking 100mm fork.
I’m pretty sure whoever “needs” 100mm of travel on a gravel bike is also going to want to run 2.2 XC tires, because if the terrain you’re riding calls for that much travel, it probably also calls for XC tires lol.

And modern trail geo and clearance for 2.4″ tires.
I like it, drop bar mtbs are sick, especially for bikepacking.

Looks rad, if it was locally available I’d be looking at it seriously.
Not necessarily trying to say it’s utterly shameless. But I’m actually thinking dang, did Dylan Johnson demonstrate that his franken-setup is actually something that can be widely adopted? This Pina setup lends itself to support that idea.

If I had £8.5k to buy a new bike I’d get the ferry!

I don’t think this thing should have been given the Grevil name as the current Grevil has a completely different frame. I would think a “grevil mx” would share something with the current Grevil.

My Kona Sutra LTD fits the same description as well. Not as nice. This looks like a sweet bike

If a dropbar isn’t holding you back on a trail, you 100% do not need that much travel from the fork. All these long travel gravel bikes are just a pure oxymoron.

Looks like a [1:1 of Dylan Johnson’s 2024 Leadville bike](https://www.pinkbike.com/news/bike-check-dylan-johnsons-drop-bar-allied-bc40-2024-leadville-100.html).
