I test rode one of these at my LBS and was blown away by how comfortable the bike was... both the geometry and the steel tubing. Plus, the front end was still pretty snappy and fun. It really wants to go when you stand and hammer. Didn't feel like an All City at all... The shop had built it up with the new SRAM Rival 1x (13 speed) UDH groupset, which was also quite impressive in its shifting. Bike weight was around 22 lbs, which ain't too bad for a steel gravel bike with 700x45s and pretty heavy DT Swiss alloy wheels. The bike just seemed to be "right." Now, this was all judged in a 10-minute neighborhood ride on pavement, but I can probably say that I haven't felt this good on a bike since I had a rim-brake Ritchey Road Logic about 15 years ago. Just thought I'd share my thoughts in case someone was interested in how these ride.
