Anyone had any experience with the All City Gorilla Monsoon? https://allcitycycles.com/bikes/gorilla_monsoon Affordable and got a generally favorable review in the current Bicycle Quarterly, but 1X crankset generated some cross-chaining.
I have one, it's a pretty fun bike. Stock build is quite heavy it you care about such things. I upgraded the wheelset to Velocity Blunt SS and I9 hubs to lighten it up. Its just so-so on pavement and tame gravel, but really comes alive when things get knarly I think.
