Thanks for the replies! I've got a Soma Doublecross which does really well on gravel and anything short of "real singletrack". I was just exploring something along the lines of bikepacking in gnarlier backcountry comditions, but with heavy chunks of road thrown in (hence the drops). The suspension might lose what I enjoy so much about the rigid road bike, but maybe a ti frame would soften things up a bit.

Thanks
