that "perfect" gravel bike

Wilier Jena use non standard fork - 410 mm A-t-C. You can't replace it by another chinese fork without geometry issues.

Thanks for your reminder. I used to think it shuold have the same parameter as Other Chinese Open mould like Spcycle G056 or TanTan GR047 because they have the same geometry.

I managed to get my 2020 Giant Revolt Advanced to 17.99 lbs - full weight with pedals & garmin mount. Mine was built around an Ultegra 2X drivetrain.
The newer 2022/2023 models are 160 to 200 grs lighter depending on which model once picks - Advanced or Advanced Pro
This model offers the potential to end up under 17 lbs & will be less expensive than other "brand name" manufacturers.

Check the Revolt built by user OnTheRivet - 16.97 lbs, with SRAM Red Etap AXS - 1X - really nice build!

I built this one for a ride buddy .. Cervelo Aspero 54cm with Force axs 1x xplr, zipp 303s with panaracer gravelking 700x38 around 17lbs, with lighter saddle, handlear and stem . .it could probably go down to less than 17lbs.

I was considering to build Crux for myself as winter/gravel bike.

No i am considering also Grizl, because it has pretty good fender mounts, and fenders from Canyon look really acceptable on the bike.

I can't stand the look and behavior of velcro fenders!

Are there some cool gravel framesets with direct mount fenders? I also had Factor LS which had holes for fenders, but Factor technical support was useless and they didn't suggest what direct mount fenders i should use and pushed me to purchase velcro. (SKS SpeedRocker - shite)

You will probably get wet feet very easy because the front fender isn't long enough.

I know about that. I would use extenders, no worries.

have you look on the Ridley Kanzo Adventure bike, i'm waiting for my frameset and will be building one with sram axs .

Hakka MX

edit: IDK why everyone always ignores these. They're light, stiff, and use normal parts, and people win on them

40mm max tire; 6 years old already; no integrated cabling if you want it; what was a very 'progressive' bike when released could have the HTA backed off another degree and STA increased another degree in the largest sizes now.

Almost certainly they'll replace it next year now that they refreshed the paintjobs for MY2023. But if they update it for MY24 to 46-50mm max tire, 1.5" straight steerer tube, and do as above with the the HTA / STAs, then it would be top of my shopping list ...

That's an excellent general purpose gravel bike, I have one, but I would not say it's a sharp gravel racer. It has the clearance and fitments to go adventuring on - hence the name. The frame is a Carbonda 696.

Prolly not perfect, but saw this and thought of this thread:

It's a very cool, purpose-built idea...I like it!

If you're down for wireless the lauf anywhere is simply wonderful. Lightness through simplicity, durable frame and threaded bb, completely standard parts for all your WW tweaks.
