This Niner RLT 9 is a cool bike no doubt. It tugs at several of my strings. I've gone back and looked at it several times. Did it again today having read this post. I went and looked at Bike Rumors review Bike Rumor Niner RLT 9 Review <http://www.bikerumor.com/2014/06/04/review-niner-rlt-9-gravel-road-bike/>. But... you don't need to read into that review too deeply before you get to suggestions of carbon bars and flexible seat posts to get away from the jariness of the aluminum frame. Correct me but I don't think a rock-hard aluminum frame will never "plane". It will never have a nice, compliant ride, and it will never give you the feedback and comfort of a good steel, ti or even carbon frame. I dream of Calfee's too. And Co-Motions, Maps, AHH's and Black Mountain Monster Cross's. Dreamin' is good!
