Glad to see that hybrid conversion all finished up. Looks nice :thumb:

***I have been riding this as a road bike (which it is) for the last 1.5 yrs, then i decided to try some cross tires about a month ago, and they fit great! Once I knew that worked, I decided to Get some extra wheels and a cassette so I can easily switch with no tire changes. (2015 Jamis Quest Comp). Overall, I have about $1160 for the Bike, extra wheels, cassette, and tires, and pedals. Now I have 2 bikes for the price of one!

30mm Kenda Kwick cross tires, stock Alex rims and Sora cassette.

Here is my rig:

Older steel frame (Cyclepro was a mail order west coast shop that used to sell Nishiki/Giant).
Mavic wheelset/700x32 Lifeline Commuter tires for general usage
Mavic Classics Pro wheelset/700x32 Ritchey Speedmax for dirty stuff
components are a mix of XTR, Shimano and Campy
2x9 Gevenalle Shifters
Front/Rear commuter lights
Ritchey handlebars

Here is my pony:

Surly Karate Monkey (old 29er version) on 45mm Specialized Electrak Armadillo tires. The tires are fast on the road, faster on gravel, and I have literally ridden over shards glass without a single flat ;)

2016 Jamis Renegade Exile, this is my first gravel bike and I am in love. I mainly ride chip seal roads and riding them on 23mm tires at 100psi was getting to me. I have done 3 rides so far totaling 90 miles and I end each ride with a smile on my face. I've changed the stock saddle to a Fizik Arione and plan on upgrading the Claris components to Ultegra. This one is a keeper for sure, and right now my main ride. I was really surprised how much it feels like a traditional road bike, pretty quick and agile for a cumbersome looking machine.

Great choice!

Just saw one at the shop last week and that's a lot of bike for the $$$$.

Fun stuff for sure.

Current project 2014 Focus Mares Di2, building it up with 1x11 XT Di2 and r785

I'm new to cross/gravel bikes but I'm loving it so far. I have a 1989 carbon trek road bike and a heavy single speed 29er and really wanted something that was sturdy and could go anywhere.

I ended up with a Felt F1X. Wheelset is HED Belgium C2 rims, Chris King R45 hubs and WTB cross boss tires 700x35 tires. Ritchey carbon seatpost, selle italia signo saddle, Deda Elementi zero 1 stem and Avid shorty ultimate brakes.

Updated my Nashbar CX (Actually replaced the entire bike). Sora Groupset, Spyre Brakes, Cowbell 3 bars, 27.5 x 2.0 Panaracer Comet tires on cheap, heavy duty Weinmann rims. Had to go with the steel fork to clear the tires & the rear is about maxed out. Am happy.

Those are some fat tires! Looks like you've built yourself a tank! :)

Damn, EpicSchwinn. That second photo of the Felt was a bold move. LOL.

Tank is a good way to describe it, and not just because it's heavy (though I can shoulder it for about a minute). The big tires almost makes me feel dumb for thinking that I needed a hardtail MTB when I sold my rigid one. The more I know.....

Can't remember if I already shared my bike here but since I did some modifications here's an update.

Finally, I haz discs! I am using TRP Spyre and Shimano 160mm rotors. Also, new tyres (Challenge Paris Roubaix)! I wanted a more road-oriented tyre since I mainly ride in the city, with some unpaved sections on my commute. This way I can leave my semi-knobby tyres (Duro Ellie Mae) exclusively for gravel rides. These tyres *feel* so much faster, I have no idea if they're actually improving my speed lol. I read mixed reviews about their flat protection but so far so good.

@kuroba, I have no doubt that those tires are actually faster. Great bike.

The Challenge Roubaix are some great looking tires!

funny i saw the picture before i read what was written above it and was like that looks a lot like the AZT heading south near Sahuarita Rd. I literally just got home from riding it.

Yes I need an upgrade! Notice the 15mm wrench on the floor in case I have a flat! About to build up a grinder. Thinking BMC as I have a brand new Sora 2x9 groupset in my garage and a handbuilt set of HED Plus Belgians.
