Few months ago bought l Momsen R355 gravel bike carbon, with Shimano 105 group set.

I've done around 380km on it since, and it handles the rough gravel and technical bits very well.

Only drawback and that probably is with most gravel bikes is, handles bad on corrugated and thick sand roads.

But jeep track and single track no problems. Best purchase in a long time, will sell, road bike soon, I got very board on the road. Changed few things, and will continue to improve to suite my riding style.

Replace that RD with the RX Ultegra with a Shadow Plus clutch...thank me later.....

Now that I pretty much only ride this bike I need more carry space because I have to dress unlike a cyclist to look the part - my middle aged babyface can't grow the matching beard though

Does the bag get in the way when pedaling?

not at all but when I stop to admire the scenery the velcro they use on the top tube tabs catches my beloved assos so I need to do something about this - its not standard velco, works well but munches lycra

If you run a strip of Gorilla tape over the velcro tabs as a temporary solution ... or go full bike packer and ride in a pair of off cut old denims.
