Thanks for sharing this post!
I really enjoyed it and haven’t seen to much info on this under-rated, under-reviewed bike.I recently bought the 2017 version of the Tamland 1 bike (light green, 2x) but very similar experience. I love the way it rides both on gravel, hard pack or unpaved roads, and even some light off-road (not too rocky!). It’s not a lightweight bike but it also can carry a rack, panniers etc for commuting and can also move fast when you need to get from A to B on the road or bike path.
The steel frame and carbon fork work well together and the geometry makes it feel very compliant and comfortable for a non-suspension bike.
The bike shop swapped the tires to Panaracer Gravelking 38mm tubeless which have a small amount of tread but will need some more knobs come fall. Works well anywhere from 35 – 60 psi.
Was curious about going 1x to get rid of the front shifting, but in the end the $$$ was right! and the option is always there if I need to replace parts (chainrings, cranks etc.)
