Nashbar house-branded aluminum 7005 series cyclocross frame which I used as a flatbar commuter for many years. Bought maybe in the late 00s. Last year, I put on flared drop bars and a new Shimano Tiagra 2x10 groupset to convert it to a gravel ride. Also has Ultegra level crankset, XT rear hub and SLX front mated to mavic rims (the wheels are handbuilt and have been great). Currently rolling on 700c x 40mm tires. I've taken this on a few gravel rides around the area and it's been great (so great that I've decided to jump into this gravel thing and am putting a new gravel bike together for myself). Short arm inline v-brakes stop it efficiently. The frame has provisions for disc mounts. I'm 5'7", it would probably fit someone from 5'5" to 5'9"ish. As is, this is a super affordable but very capable way of getting into gravel riding. I'd also be willing to do a disc brake conversion for an extra $250 for new disc-compatible wheels and disc brake calipers if you're so inclined. (bottle cage and seat bag not included. Pedals negotiable)
