As you know, the tools on a multi-tool or Swiss Army knife are typically inferior to dedicated tools. What you're describing can only end up a half-assed compromise, inferior in every aspect to a bike designed for that role. However, if you want a bike that can be fast and comfortable on pavement and also competent on gravel, let me suggest a bike built around the 650B Hetre tire, like my MAP Randonneur, or Jan's new Herse. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
