I haven't posted them here, actually. I'm going through the collection and will be getting rid of some stuff. I think I have enough rim brake bikes/frames lol. I did have my 05' Poprad converted to disc, but that'll be a slow build.

So it's been a while of tinkering with my bikes but I think I finally have my bikes dialed in for the type of riding I do. Here are my Giant "Gravel Bikes":

I originally thought getting the Revolt would replace the Toughroad for me, however I was able to make the Toughroad functionally different & now I have way more fun riding it now than I did when I first got it to be completely honest. I'm also running the widest possible tires on both bikes, as well as 50cm Cowchippers (Revolt) and 52cm PNW Coast bars (Toughroad). Never going back to narrow bars or narrow tires

2018 (I think) Specialized Sequoia - I just swapped the rear tire from the stock Sawtooth to a Specialized Pathfinder Pro 700x38. Why? Because I had a hard time keeping air in the Sawtooth without a tube and the Pathfinder was really the only option the bike shop had yesterday.

Upgraded my Cernunnos Touro with the parts that come out of my Trek Checkpoint.
Tiagra 4700 drivetrain with an Ultegra RX rear derailleur and RS405 hydraulic brake levers and some entry level shimano MTB calipers, because I didn't want to deal with flatmount adapters. I also changed the handlebar to a PRO Discover Big Flare 42cm.

The latest addition to the stable. New 2021 S-Works Diverge built up with Shimano GRX Di2, Enve Gravel bars, Enve G23 Wheels. Did the DK200 on the previous generation of this bike. Added tire clearance and now FutureShock is nice.

I bought it SH but Honestly the bike I would choose if I had to have just one. Maybe a road 28mm wheelset as well then. Has electronic shifting installed which I think is much better than I thought it would be... On 1000 miles now after 8 or so weeks.
