Are Gravel Bikes Just Mountain Bikes From The '90s? | GMBN Tech Make A Gravel Bike

Drop bars off road? What's the point? With the rising popularity of gravel bikes it can be easy to forget that mountain bikers were using drop handlebars even in the 1990s. Specifically, John Tomac; who raced a Yeti C-26 to 4th place in the first Downhill World Championships, and we have a replica here! Doddy checks out all the details of this vintage MTB before creating his own modern version and taking it for a shred ????
