Eric’s Flaanimal is one of our favourite bikes. Its a pleasant twist on what a gravel bike can and should be! it holds its own on the road, but really comes to life when the road gets rough. With clearance for 700x50mm or 650bx2.4 tires, 1x chainrings up to 46t or a compact 2x road gearing you can pretty much use the Flaanimal for whatever you want. Eric uses it to ride into the woods, go fishing, and drink coolers.
