Looking for a bike for the spouse. The Revere came into my field of view because of the disk brakes and thru-axles. Does anyone have any idea what the maximum tire width might be? What thoughts on this as a "gravel" specific bike?
Another idea might be the Haanjenn Comp, however if I read the specs correctly, it about 3 lbs heavier.
My co-worker got one this year and she likes it (her first real bike). Front fork could probably fit a 38-40c tire but the back would probably max out at 30-32c. It comes with 28c tires. She has ridden gravel and a little dirt but mostly rides paved trails with it.

Thanks for the info., I was thinking of running a 650b wheelset, so maybe could squeeze more width in there?
From what I recall the chainstays are pretty straight so they wouldnt take more tire regardless. I would look elsewhere for more width out of the rear - 700 or 650b.\n\nI would consider this bike more of a road bike that comes with thru axles and disk brakes.
