Titanium at it's best! Is this a Gravel Bike for you?

https://youtu.be/kVXHpwlAhuA The 1999 Litespeed Appalachian was a titanium cyclocross bike that stood at a crossroads of technology and tradition. At the time, titanium frames were still a premium offering, prized for their lightweight, impressive strength, and legendary durability. Litespeed, a brand known for pioneering titanium bicycle construction, offered the Appalachian as a high-performance option for riders seeking a versatile and lively machine. While cyclocross racing was gaining popularity in the late 1990s, the Appalachian's geometry blurred the lines between disciplines. Its aggressive handling made it perfect for navigating the technical demands of cyclocross courses, but its comfortable riding position also allowed for comfortable endurance rides or exploring gravel paths. This versatility, combined with the cutting-edge titanium frame material, made the 1999 Litespeed Appalachian a desirable bike for riders who craved both performance and comfort. However, the high price tag associated with titanium frames kept it out of reach for many cyclists, leaving it a niche offering within the Litespeed lineup.
