Nice
^^^ thankyou, I see it as no nonsense and purposeful !
I had a CDF as winter road bike and a blingy carbon Defy - both now away and it's this, and a Spesh Creo SL, to cover off all road duties !
Like that. That's the more road / slightly less gravel oriented model isn't it?
Very nice. Understated, clean lines andooks perfect for the job.
One day I'll get a second road bike for general hack use but it'd be another steel frame for me I think 🙂
Nicely fitted/ stealthy guards.👍

it's actually the more gravel oriented one, the more road one is the Contend SL. This one has bigger tyres (32c tubeless vs 28c) but otherwise much the same.

cheers, SKS Bluemel 42s
Very tidy, happy trails to you
I like the colour very much.
I like the guards as well which is good as I have a set to fit to my Mason Bokeh just as soon as I can be bothered.
And proper clipless pedals too.
^^^ hahaha 🙂 yes, so I can wear my Defroster winter boots. I do also have road pedals for it !
Needs a flap.
Otherwise, good work.
Nice.
Looks like a very useable compact drop bar.
Is it just the photo, or do you have the stem at the top of the steerer but in the negative rise position?
^^^^ the stem is in the default setup, so not 'flipped up', and it's parallel to the top tube, and yes, all spacers under. That's the way it came so I'll ride it a bit before fiddling with it

Time ATACs on my gravel bike to allow the use of my Northwave Celsius Artics. Yes I could have bought the road ones, but a bit of tread when you might end up walking on ice or in snow is a good thing.
