I could happily live with my current gravel bike for years to come, but it's been 4 years and the itch to simply try something new is definitely around right now.
I keep coming back to Zukas for the cool stays and paint, Scarab for the product quality and paint, Jeff Bock if I go retro and get rim brakes, or Rock Lobster for the established name and seafoam green color.
With the same geometry as I have now, a Rock Lobster in seafoam green with black fork could be so cool.
