My wife recently opted for two new bikes.
A MAP 650b and a Diamondback Haanjo EXP carbon.
Chrome Molly is doing the build on the MAP.
Think of that as a rando/sport tourer for country roads.
To the Diamondback, we added a Tubus Tara and Compass Babyshoe Pass tires.
Madden front panniers, with a Swift Paloma bag.
She uses my extra Niterider 2500 Endura Pro light system.
We can still add fenders, racks and additional water bottles.
It's an awfully nice bike for $1,600 if you use the member discounts at REI.
Just a wonderful bike for gravel rides.
