since @Tom K. brought this up, I figured I would post this. Moots, based in Steamboat Springs, CO has done a great job on this new iteration. Modern geo featuring slacker head, longer reach with shorter stems (yay) and tire clearance up to 50 (while still running a 2x). my only beef is they kept the BB drop at 6.9. the old Geo was based on a 32 tire and the new builds are fitted with 43 Gravel King SK's so Im not sure if they lowered the BB since the drop would certainly be different now. IMHO, nothing matches the ride quality on gravel with Titanium,
gravel bike, gravel riding, mixed surfaces, gravel-Moots
The Routt 45 is the ultimate in gravel performance. The titanium frame gives the smooth feel over rough surfaces and can hold a tire of 50mm, lifetime durabilty
