This non-boost-spaced flat-bar gravel bike takes a whopping 2.6″ 29er tire and features 853 tubing with a beefed-up downtube to endure the rigors of double-track touring and riding. Anton wanted a bike that still rode well when it didn’t have bags strapped to it. Crust Bikes just took in a shipment of Derecho framesets, which come in two colors: tan and green. Its standout feature is the segmented fork, inspired by the Yo Eddy! and it features a matching segmented seat stay.
