I picked up a stock hybrid giant escape up a few months ago wanting to go out and enjoy the countryside a bit quicker than I would be walking. Also wanting to get back into some physical exercise. It did the job but personally the flat bars were getting uncomfortable on longer rides so a friend of mine lent me a set of drops bars to try. I know the cable routings are all over the place but just seeing if i like the feel of drops. Aside from that, removing the front derailleur and that it basically has road tyres on it, could this frame be the basis of a budget starter gravel bike? Any advice is appreciated!!
