Seriously thinking about a massive cull on the bikes and looking at the Cannondale Slate as a jack of all trades.

Any experience of using for road, light touring and a bit of gravel.

Looking to get to "Cannondale/generalist" plus TT plus Full Sus perhaps.

Thanks, John

So far on mine...I have commuted to work along a tow path, been for a training ride on road, hit some fireroad gravel and a bit of single track. It'll be used for the Dirty Reiver next year and a few other gravel events I expect.

Struggling to justify holding on to my 650b hard tail at the moment (I have a 29er full suss as well but that's staying)

For max 'jack of all/fun' returns,get two sets of wheels.
I am now toying with idea of getting a set of 650bs as an option for bigger rubber.
