About this product
This is a large-frame steel gravel or cyclocross bike, featuring a Shimano 105 20-speed drivetrain. It rolls on 700c wheels with clincher tires and is equipped with cantilever brakes. Designed for diverse terrains, it offers the classic feel of a steel frame combined with reliable road bike shifting.

Our take
If you're looking for a versatile bike that can handle both road and off-road conditions, this steel gravel grinder could be a solid choice. The large steel frame offers a classic ride quality that many enthusiasts appreciate, providing a good balance of comfort and durability. The Shimano 105 drivetrain with 20 speeds is a strong point, offering precise and reliable shifting for varied terrain. However, the cantilever brakes are a bit dated compared to modern disc brakes, which might be a consideration for those prioritizing maximum stopping power in all conditions. Overall, it's a capable bike for the price, especially if you value a traditional steel ride.
