I'm thinking about selling the Gunnar. Then it would just be down to road, gravel or touring for decisions.

Interesting. What do you like about that better than the Gunnar? I really like the combination of a steel frame and the Enve fork. I'd be hard pressed to give up that combination for a steel frame and steel fork.

Some lovely whips out there! Here is mine, one week old (frame receipt) today, finished the build a couple days later and have a few hundred miles on it already. Rides like a dream!

My painted 2018 Ritchey Road Logic travel bike... shown here in Ho Chi Minh City. Steel is my preferred frame material for travel as I feel more confident about its durability through the rigors of travel and is perfect for the urban exploration-type of riding I like to do. I think it would feel weird to ride my BMC SLR01 through small alleyways in Asia or rural villages where my BMC would stand out. The Ritchey itself is great, in that it's not exotic, and the external cables make it extremely serviceable compared to my internally-routed bikes.

Mine.
My recently completed 1994 Serotta Colorado TG frame (refurbed at the factory in 2011.) Budget build, under 800. Love this ride.
