Here's a carbon bike that I would mount up with 28c tires and ride dirt roads in a heartbeat. $350! If the picture is accurate, no way is this a 55cm...looks like a 48cm or smaller. Too small for me otherwise I'd go buy it this weekend at $350.

This kind of stuff is why I can't currently bring myself to drop Ducati motorcycle money on a custom bicycle again. Don't get me wrong, I love my Moots MTB...its like a piece of jewelry.
Again, no 28 mm in that unless its got a ton of room. Plus, I don't trust those early bonded frames especially if you are going to beat it on gravel roads. That reminds me of my well, Look Kg171. I love that frame, great for all day long in the saddle but soft. I was lucky that frame held together pretty after three crashes and a few years of beating on it. I am not nice to equipment
