>>1852334I picked up the Four Corners Soecial Edition for £769 from bikester who I believe are a UK storefront for a German retailer.
Similar in a lot of ways to the Nicasio posted by the other anon, but runs Sora groupset and TRP disc brakes. Haven't tried it yet but it hit all the boxes I was looking for - steel, designed for bikepacking, suitable for a bit of off-road etc.
It's heavy, yeah, but my other bike is a cheapo hybrid I converted to a mid-drive ebike and now weighs about 25kg with the battery and marathon plus tyres and rack etc. So 13kg will feel like nothing I figure, especially when I have to carry it up 4 flights of stairs.
