I just purchased this Batch Gravel Plus bike from my LBS. I've been riding on a Felt Hybrid for 10 years around town and it was time to try something different. I like camping and would love to bikepack from Detroit. MI to the Upper Peninsula someday.
When I went to the store to get tubes the guy mentioned that they were having a sale so I tried a few Giants out and then he pointed this one out which was 20% off. It was a bit cheaper for similar features (?) and carbon forks it had my interest – I've never been much for expensive brands. I liked the color and styling and it rode really well so I decided to treat myself to an early Father's Day present. My dad died recently after a long, tough battle with cancer, and I'm expecting a baby girl in October, so why not? Gotta stay fit.
I know it's a bike shop brand or something like that but anyone else have one of these?
