I then narrowed it down to Mosaic and T-Lab because they seem to be among the few manufacturers that focus on gravel bikes that are stiffer than typical Ti bikes and feel more like responsive cross bikes, with steeper head tube angles, short chainstays, and stiffer BB/seattube features. I choose T-Lab. I like the shapes of the tubes and features, and I'm going to place an order soon. I just need to decide on a few things:

Partial paint or unpainted (prefer the partial paint and will likely go with flat black or satin black if I go with paint)
3rd water bottle (could be handy on hot summer gravel rides where water is not available)
Rack eyelets (undecided on this but also could be nice on long rides)
Did you placed your order? I ordered my T-Lab X3 back in November and should receive it soon! Can't wait to see and ride it...
