There’s something about a steel gravel bike that appeals. With the growing trend for carbon framed, race-focussed models, a steel tubed machine, to me at least, reflects the roots of the scene, when comfort, practicality and good old fashioned fun trumped speed, aerodynamics and jostling for podium places.
Scarab’s updated Páramo is one such bike. It’s made from the finest Italian metal and is handmade in Colombia, built to tackle that country’s rugged roads, paths and trails.
