Gravel bike is neither a road bike nor an MTB. As the word “gravel” implies, this bike is designed to have a comfortable and controlled ride on an unpaved or even a pothole filled city road. It is fancy, it is charming, and it is the bike for you and me. Instead of using traditional painting or plating, a phosphite coating is applied to form a protection layer with veins unique to each frame developed on top of the coating. Then, a transparent black top layer is painted on. Rust will develop gradually underneath lively and artistically.v
