Too funny..
Although I've ridden the Trek for just 160 miles, it has been a joy to ride for every one of them.
Changes/Upgrades:
Ritchey WCS carbon handlebar w/ Ergon GP3
Swapped the small cyclecross(?) style pedals for Shimano platforms
Swapped the 32mm Bontrager road-ish tires for 35mm Schwalbe AllRound (they measure as 33mm tho)
ToDo:
Bontrager carbon seatpost arriving next week.
Swap 11-42 cassette for 11-36 ?
Go tubeless ?

Newbie
The rules say I have to make 10 posts first and I think I am almost there. Lots of seniors in my town. I look forward to showing you soon what I ride.

Probably a good solution for the flat bar hands issue. More aero isn't the main goal. I used to ride with a K-hound who had aero bars way jacked up on his road bike - except during PBP years. He's down to 18 mile rides now - Afib - a victim of his success.

Added this one not long ago. 1971 PX10. Not all original, but modified by previous owner for hills. That’s good for me. A winter rebuild project. French fit, naturalmente.

This was my lust object back in college. Being a poor college student, I was stuck with my 33 lb Schwinn Varsity - but I did ride the damn thing 10s of thousands of miles.

...and this frameset is in good shape... 
thought -
when asked, "Between sizes = upsize or downsize?". Sometimes the answer depends more on frame. This one, UPsized, will benefit with a switch to 700c, and tire widths to match the intended ride's surface.

Always glad to ride a new ride for new terrain.
A change from western Washington weather to west slope Colorado - things,… even old roadie habits, improve with change.
Not new to 100% gravel rides, just inexperienced lately. Miyata is a tad smaller than my GFisher at Seattleish home, both made in Taiwan in 1991.
