Hakkalügi Disc

   Any opinions or experiences with the Ibis Hakkalügi Disc for gravel racing?  Sure is a nice looking bike and seems to have the right geometry if not tire clearance.

Have about 3k miles on mine and it's been phenomenal.  The road'ish geometry is what sold me on it, low bottom bracket makes for better stability at speed, steeper head angle for super agility in the technical stuff.  Even have some CX racing on it now and it's quickly turned into my most favorite bike I've had in over a decade.  The tire clearance is ample enough, The widest the rear triangle will allow is 35c, no 40c for sure.  However the ENVE CX forks will take a 40c, but that's overkill IMHO.  This is an American style CX bike with gravel tendencies, not the other way around.

Thanks!  Great info.

Built this up over the winter and have had it out on a couple hundred miles of gravel so far.  Working really well for me and it makes a great road bike with different tires on it too :-)
