Awesome, that is way better tire clearance than I was expecting! Ours should be in today, picking it up Saturday. We're planning on putting drop bars on ours and making it our gravel/road rig. Already have the ECDM for trail duty, but it's not the most efficient tool for gravel events. I can definitely see throwing a Knard and a fast rolling 2.4-2.6 on there for some of the chunkier events. The frame geometry is basically the same as the RT only with longer stays/shorter headtube due to clear the larger tires, and shorter seat tubes for more standover. Ought to be perfect for gravel and light trail. I'm planning on going with the Bodyfloat alloy post for my stoker as well. Had an LT Thudbuster in the past, Bodyfloat looks like it'll do a little better job on the more frequent smaller stuff on gravel. Maybe the LT is a better fit for the bigger hits on trail.
