@look 171, I would love to have the matching Moots Ti framed gravel grinder to compliment my Moots MTB. Ti is awesome. I recognize the benefits of carbon, but for me I like the ride of metal frames. My ‘79 Guerciotti is comfortable for all day rides, gorgeous and classy in lugged Columbus SL steel.
I was seriously eyeballing building a 2nd Moots for gravel purposes. But given I could modify one of my vintage machines for a few hundred dollars, vs. $10k for a shiny new Moots I couldn’t rationalize the extra cost. The Moots would certainly be better, but over 10x better? 10x more fun to ride? No ****** way!
@Vash, I don’t think the concept of a light, fast rolling, handling bike that can cover both paved and unpaved roads is a fad itself. The fad part is the idea that you need a “gravel” bike. This kind of bike used to just be a “regular” road bike, or perhaps a “touring” bike.
