Nice stable! I've been waiting for someone who owns multiple steel models to pop up on the forum. What's your opinion on the ride quality of the 520 steel Expat and the higher end 631 Exploit and Escapade frames? Assuming the wheel/tire choice is similar is there any difference in feel or is it just a weight difference? I've loved the ride of my Expat and the addition of a lightweight wheelset/tubless setup transformed the bike, but I have always wondered abut the 631 frames. Also, is that a Fabric tool keg? How has it held up? I've looked hard at those, but was unsure how well it holds in place on rough terrain or if the mounting knobs wear down with use and develop play.
