Only cool ones like a richey road logic, black man mountains road, surly pacer, crust epo, etc. No trek or specialized carbon shit.

I started graveling on a Specialized Allez with rock hard 23mm tires.
And that bike is very cool.

A photo of a Ritchey frame is not barred from anywhere, but mostly they belong on the bikeporn reddit.

I always hear about how gravel bikes are “do everything” bikes, but my hot take is that an endurance or all-road bike with wider clearance for two wheelsets (32mm road, 38mm gravel) is the way to go.

You are riding gravel. And bonus, out away from traffic. That makes it a gravel bike.

Gravel roads are roads and the first gravel bikes were road bikes.

A road bike was the original gravel bike. I always laugh at the folks who think their bike will explode if they take 25mms in gravel. The pros rode Strada Bianca on 21mms!
