We will have to agree to disagree. Sure it was marketed as an “All Road” bike but I’ve done everything from road century rides to MTB and Gravel races to 5 day bike packing trips and my Spacehorse never once blinked. If you can find one used it’s my favorite steel bike of all time and I’ll never give it up. Next step is a new group set, everything else has been upgraded.

    Why would anyone say that? It wouldn’t be my choice for single track but then, I wouldn’t grab any drop bar for that. It’s a great bike for 95% of gravel most people ride… with the exception of the aero bros who have all moved from their road paceline to gravel and can’t snap out of their ultra competitive mindset.

    You can still find them new in some shops, same with cosmic stallions.

    What are you upgrading the groupset to?

    My favourite colourway for the horse! I haven’t heard anyone saying it can’t gravel though… why would anyone say that? Lol. I have an unused example in mint hanging on my wall waiting to be built up. Maybe this is the year..
