Also, 700c gravel is just a fad now like 29 and 27.5 were, like double road cranksets became triples and now single. Yeah they are each nice in a way but in 5 years there will be a "new" standard everyone feels a need to rush to and that "in" bike will be "out". Eventually all those fads wear thin and you are left riding what works for you both performance wise and economically.

Ps. Great looking bike
