Nothing over 30 miles. I commute 15 miles to work with it, have taken it on some single track meant for MTBs (it handled it, wasn't great - but not what the bike is for), and maybe 20 miles of gravel. Have about 300…
Hi, I'm 5'7, inseam 30.5. I went with the 52 because the 49 just seemed to small for me. The standover is tight - just enough clearance, but the rest of the bike fits perfectly. You ride a bike, don't stand over it. 😉…
I just got out for another short ride - this is a seriously fun, fast, comfy bike to ride. I didn't want to stop riding.

I bought the 52cm - weight with a set of Industry Nine AR25 TRA wheels and Schwalbe G One 700x38 tires is 18.34 lbs. That includes Crank Brothers Candy 3 pedals. My guess is that the Stan's Grails / Grifos it comes with…
Oh, bummer - sorry to hear that. And I just ordered a 52cm myself. I was concerned about the standover height, now I really am. What is your inseam?
You know, I think I may have had the BombTrack confused with something else - my apologies. The frames have identical geometries. What concerns me is the standover height - 790mm for a 52cm frame. That just seems…
I'm pretty sure it's not the same frame - different geometry and slightly different shape on the seat tube. Kestrel has their own designs.
Yeah, it's similar to the Bombtrack EXT-C - but the geometry may be even closer to the Gravel-bike ideal in terms of trail at least (BB drop though is 3mm less - not sure how much of a difference that makes). And it…
I'm also intrigued by this bike - it's a hell of a deal. The spec is pretty amazing for the price. Bikes Direct is billing it as a cross bike, but I really think this may be Kestrel's entry into the gravel bike segment.…
