Which racy steel gravel frameset

[saba]

Besides something semi/full custom like a Stelbel Nina, what steel gravel framesets are biased towards zing and speed?

There's the Standert Erdgeschoss, the Curve GXR... what else is there?

Niner RLT

I'm wondering the exact same thing so keeping an eye on this thread.

I've found a few like the:

• Rondo Ruut
  Genesis Fugio
  Niner RLT
  Shand Stooshie

That Standert looks great, seem's to tick every one of my boxes too. Just the price...

Fairlight makes a nice bike.

Ritchey Outback or the VonHoff ACX might be worth a look.

Not steel but titanium, some of the Lynskey gravel frames can be had for a pretty good price.

Niner RLT is not racy, Rondo Ruut is not racy, Genesis Fugio is definitely not racy (and has a reputation of being a bit of a pig), Shand Stooshie is not racy. The Fairlight Secan in a "regular" geometry leans towards racy, but raw exposed cable inners is poop. Ritchey Outback leans towards racy as well.

Shand Stooshie is not racy.

£200 up-charge for custom geo get's you as racy as you want.

28c max tyre does not a gravel machine make.

The Ritchey Outback or the new Swisscross are sleek steeds.

Interesting! It didn't appear on the Cinelli website.

The clearance is a low at 700x38c, and it would be nice to see a T47 bottom bracket for future compatibility. But the rest looks delicious.

I’ve just come across this Quirk Cycles - Mamtor which may interest you.

Those are indeed interesting, but the frameset price is painful.

Agreed, it’s generally only boutique brands with semi custom models that seem to do fast gravel/all road bikes.

Also try:

Surly Midnight Special. A little weighty but technically a fast gravel frame as it’s designed as a ‘road bike with extra tyre clearance’.

All City Macho King A.C.E.

What makes you say the Shand Stooshie isn’t fast? Looks comparable to most other similar steel frames for gravel/all-road
