    Does anyone have one? Any good? I was thinking of the steel version as it has more attachment points. Would it be more comfortable than than the carbon version (which seems to have 5kg max limit on attachment points.

    Max 42mm. tyres , enough?

    The Ti version I’m riding is ok on 40mm wide tyres. That may be a function of the frame material though and my general mincing through things as I no longer bounce on impact. Mine was a custom build mind, see pic below

    Just did my first ride today on a Terra C with the GRX Shimano groupset. Took me a few miles to get into the different handling compared to my Pivot full suss and Planet X road bike but soon felt comfortable. Went down trails I’m familiar with on the Pivot and it took it in it’s stride. Obviously it needed a lot more body movement (made me realise just how good the Pivot is and how full suss can make you a bit lazy) but it was lovely and fast on the smoother sections of trail.
    On-road it was comfortable and quick enough on Hutchinson Tundra tyres. I binned the made-in-China non tubeless Continentals it came with. Overall I’m happy with it and looking forward to more gravel rides and diving off road if I spot a bridleway.
