Additional Info

Converted my custom Marino hardtail to a drop-bar monstergravel/singletrack/everything bike which works surprisingly well. It's extremely stable for a "gravel" bike, brakes are the only thing holding it back on steep and chunky descents really. Frame was designed with a 130mm fork in mind, could be fun to test that out as well.

Is this the most aggressive gravel bike out there? 66° HA, 1200 + wheelbase.
