[Closed] Steel Gravel Bike Ideas Appreciated

kraken2345 · 2021-08-05T16:27:13Z

So after a week spent bikepacking across Snowdonia I'm keen to look at getting or building up a gravel/adventure bike, ideally one that takes mudguards/frame bag mounts but not essential. I've always loved riding steel frames (whether it makes a difference to the ride quality or not, they just interest me and look great) however I'm not aware of many steel frames out there. I have the luxury of time on my side and am very happy to get things 2nd hand, so far I'm aware of the following steel gravel frames/bikes from ebay, classifieds etc: Surly (a couple of models) Salsa Vaya Cotic Escapade Genesis Croix De Fer Marin Nicasio I'm sure there's plenty lesser known brands and I'm all ears, just keen to look at as many as I can now to get a better idea of what's about. I've looked at some web articles but many of the steel frames are more boutique types that cost 2k for the frame alone, which is a bit steep. Thanks

I've got a Camino but I want to get a nice steel gravel/hybrid/tourer for all non-MTB rides.

I'd have bought a Secan by now if I could find one to sit on to test the size but alas the search continues.
