For me it contravenes the first rule of bike packing - I wouldn't leave it outside my tent. I couldn't sleep a wink.

do you know some?

Nope. Like I said, if it does what you want and you're happy with it, who cares what anyone thinks it looks like? But you did ask 😉

To be fair it cost about the same as a Surly Karate Monkey.

And bike crime in the middle of nowhere must be pretty low.

you still have few chances to catch the thief while tucked up in the sleeping bag 😛

Why would you want to go bikepacking in those sorts of places?

I don't get gravel bikes but i love that. Frame, seat post and even the fork. Looks nicely designed and built.

So you are notified of a theft in progress by having your toe wrenched off....leaving you incapacitated and unable to pursue

Id rather have it nicked

Maybe just me but i still wouldn't like to leave Ti outside a tent, pub or shop anywhere. I'm sure it be fine....i just wouldn't enjoy the evening as much
