2005 Raleigh C700 Hybrid. Originally equipped with 3x9 Shimano 105 with flat bars, narrow wheels and 28mm tires.
My “gravelish” bike. Stripped down and updated with:
Microshift Storm 2 x 10
Favero Assioma Pro MX-2
knock-off Paul Mini-Motos
Zipp Gravel cockpit
Schwalbe Pro 1 40mm tires
alloy rims
It makes for a pleasant ride. It can handle some pretty serious terrain, but will be best suited for the rail-trail gravel paths in my area. The new setup has a wider gear range than the original one did, makes it a lot easier to climb with. It should also serve well as a commuter in the spring.
