I got some Mavic Crossmax Ultimates on a steep discount from Merlin Cycle. Together with a gently used set of 2.2 RaceKings, they shaved about 150g per wheel off the bike versus the Reserves that I do still adore. I haven’t weighed it but it should be just over 20 lbs with all pedals and mounts (including a frame pump mount and saddle bag bracket). I also went longer on the stem (70mm).

It’s funny. I abhor the buttholes that say Gravel is just 90’s MTB. Truth is, I have a hardtail setup like this as my regular-ass gravel bike now after many iterations. It’s really like a Darwinian evolution thing. We all evolve to crab.

Love it. Did you size down the frame? Hows the fit?
