The Gestalt is for the drop bar rider that doesn’t want to stick to pavement, and can’t help but get dirty no matter the route. Long distance commuters and all-weather riders will appreciate the fender and rack mounts and the sure stopping disc brakes, and the larger volume tires are right at home on that unexpected detour.
Key upgrades over Gestalt:
Series 3 Beyond Road frame w/highly formed & butted custom tubeset
Marin full carbon fork
Shimano Sora 2x9 drivetrain
Tektro mechanical disc brakes
