Hey all -> I am looking to upgrade my gravel frame from a steel all-city super pro to a carbon bike and keep most/all parts. I am looking for the following:
- higher stack / endurance geo
- 45mm clearance min (50+ ideally)
- mechanical brake compatible routing (klampers)
- internal frame storage
I am leaning towards the Rodeo TD 4.2 but don’t know anyone riding one. The new checkpoint is also perhaps a good match. Had been eying the MOG also but 4K+ is a bit steep.
Would love input or suggestions.

Fuck trek.
I own a flanimaal ti 5 and love it. The Trail donkey is a great versatile bike.
Trail Donkey has been established as a very capable bike. I would be riding one now had the timing of their latest release worked for me, but I ended up going with a bike that was available for my race.
Rodeo Labs was way ahead of the curve on getting big tires, capable gravel bikes that can be super versatile. The Trek is a fine bike, but between those two I wouldn’t even have to think twice.
