If you were to design the most durable and lowest/easiest maintenance long distance gravel bike while still being fun/rideable, how would you do it?
>Thick walled and large diameter reynolds 853 tubings
>ED/phosphate coated inside & out for corrosion resistance
>durable paint like powder coat
>fluid film inside the tubes
>plastic wrap all around the frame + strategically placed thicker helicopter tape around the downtube and fork
>29er with MTB boost hubs for stronger wheels
>36+ spoke wheels
>low pressure tires with a tire insert like cushcore
>TRP HY/RD mechanical/hydro brakes
>friction shifters
>threaded BB
