Maybe I’m on the wrong thread, I’m 58 and like a fast nervy bike as much as anyone, but I also like big tires and mountain bikes. This year I took a chance getting an inexpensive Sora Cannondale Topstone supposed gravel bike against everyone’s advice, I lowered the handlebar and put on Marathon Plus 38mm tires. If I want to go fast I pedal, the bike responds and I can plough ahead without minding what the pavement looks like. I like my race-oriented endurance road bike with 25-28mm tires but I think I’m having more fun with the heavy duty bike.
