Overview
Our inspiring review is coming soon for now, here is what Salsa has to say:
Journeyer Advent 700c is a gravel adventure bike that meets the needs of new and experienced riders alike. We designed the all-new aluminum frame and Fantail aluminum fork around comfortable and confident geometry for a nice ride on challenging gravel roads and rough city streets alike.
Set it up however you like with rack and fender mounts, Three-Pack mounts on the fork, top tube and accessory mounts, and water bottle mounts — perfect for long gravel days, bikepacking outings, or commutes. The 700c x 38 mm wheels and tires blend rolling speed with traction, and MicroSHIFT’s superb Advent 1 x 9 components are as reliable as anything else out there. Meet your new gravel adventure bike.
