Wilde Mean Jean Cyclocross Frameset

As we no longer need our cyclocross bikes to also be our gravel bikes, the Mean Jean has aggressive race geometry: a tallish (66mm) bb height and a short 415mm rear end. It fits a 44c tire in the back and is a riot in the dirt. It’s way more flickable on trail than a modern gravel bike, which needs to be stable at 35mph while descending a dusty road surface made of marbles. Strangely enough, for some riders the short wheelbase and agile handling will actually make it the “gravel” bike they’ve been dreaming of.
