Please take a look at my crust bombora, I rode it up a mountain today.
I frequently see people say that crust bikes are more style over substance, “instagram bikes”, maybe they’re right but I do enjoy riding this bike.
From the crust website:
‘The Bombora is NOT a mountain bike. Yes, it fits a large tire, but the tube set is light. Think about it as a "plus" size tire gravel bike. We keep the tube set light to keep the ride quality opulent. That means it's great for bombing some road/ groads, but it's not meant for single track or a big chunky jeep trail full of rocks and huge ruts for you to run into square on. If you do ride it on that kind of stuff and break it, we will not replace it.’
I think about this every time I ride my bombora on singletrack…

Looks fun. All that matters if you enjoy it and ride! Where are you, hard to guess?
Maybe small fenders to keep mud out of bottles?
You must have a hell of a parts bin to “dip [your] toe” into xbiking by building a Crust from the ground up. That’s like being waist deep in the activity and saying that you’re “dipping your toes.”
What if we did? What if we all hated it? Does validation from random internet folks matter so much to you? You like your cycle, you ride it.
I only have a Crust fork, but I do love it (older gen Evasion)
Sick bike!
