Cliff-
I’m right there with you. Want want want a gravel bike too. Hard to think the same way about rim brakes after riding discs. Hoping to get rid of a couple and replace with one to cover the bases. One of the “Old” is a Waterford. Richard Schwinn fitted me in their factory. Believe it was the second year of production, post Paramount days. Nice bike, but collecting dust. Have been riding a Specialized Sirrus for the last 11 or so years. Great bike, but would like something a little more compliant and more hand positions. Thinking of a Specialized Diverge or Trek Checkpoint in carbon.
The custom stuff is gorgeous, but prices (even factory bikes) are getting ridiculous.
