Monster Bicycle Co. Model 1 with some upgrades. It's perfect, but I'm biased.

Here's mine... It's an old Voodoo Wazoo frame, with Kelly fork, both custom powder coated by a previous owner (I like the minty free color). Both made in the USA. Mostly 105 shifty bits, custom Velocity A23 wheelset, Brooks Swift saddle, Speci carbon seat post, Salsa Bell Lap bars. I love how this bike rides, eats up dirt roads for fun!

Here's the bike that I ride on gravel, which is also my travel bike. I have it set up for the mix of mostly pavement and hardpack dirt around here and the Clement X'Plor USH works well for these conditions. I run a compact road crankset up front and a SLX 9-speed rear derailleur with a 11-32 cassette. The wheels pictured will hopefully be replaced soon as they have proven not to be very robust.

My newest bike, almost done. Gravel singlespeed with clearance for Nanos. Stealth cable routing for possible Alfine or geared use. Three or two water bottles or even Anything cages. 25.4 seatpost for more flexibility (we'll see) and lots of options in carbon and titanium for building my own posts. Low bottom bracket (82mm drop).

Previous bike in Odin's Revenge setup. It's sort of a cyclocross/randonneur hybrid.

Very cool. Looks like you'll have great clearance in the chainstay area. What crankset will that design accommodate? Does it have to have smaller than usual chainrings?

It's actually on the narrow side since it only can clear a Nanoraptor and the stays are fairly long, so with a road chainline it should take up to about a 46.

Searched last year for something with disk and lower BB. Came upon this new offering from Soma, the Triple Cross, in polished stainless steel tubes. Added carbon bars and fork to reduce some vibration. Still tweaking components but overall happy with the ride.

Here's my daily driver/all arounder. 2012 Cinelli Experience, SRAM Force, Ritchey WCS Zetas, and 28c Panaracer Paselas. Pretty much spot on for the hardpack back roads in Florida. And also pretty much spot on for my weekly group rides and the occasional road race and alley cat.

Built this frame up with 650b wheels, really liking it so far, yet to be tested on gravel, tho... Also can fit fatter tires
