This is my RC520 - a boxing day sale gift to self. I went to Decathlon to get a bike light... and came out with a bike. (To be fair, I've eye'd it for a while as a gravel bike and with the discount I had to jump). Excuse the wheels had to resort to a spare set as I wanted to try the tyre clearance and could not get the stock tyres off the stock wheelset! (I heard its a common problem and there is a bit of glue.) Changes at the moment: 38mm B'Twin trekking tyres - have these lying around. 11-40T cassette SPD M520 Intended use: Gravel, touring, commuting. Things I'd like to do: 650b wheels? (need more research) Single chainring or a 46/30 crankset Flared handlebars First impressions: I really like it. My road bike is the CF900, this one has a very comfortable riding position and the disc brakes are assuring. 'Gravel' here in Australia tends to be more national park fire roads with a chunkier loose rocks & grooves, hence I'd like to go 650b and try 40mm+, but so far so good and will rack up a few more k's before further changes.

Congrats on the purchase - Can't see the photo though. You have to store it online elsewhere and put a link to it.
