All-City Cosmic Stallion 700c Steel Gravel Bike – SRAM Rival AXS, 55cm

The All-City Cosmic Stallion Gravel Bike is your ultimate companion for conquering any terrain—from blistering criteriums to multi-day gravel epics—thanks to its race-proven steel construction and versatile design. Engineered with All-City’s proprietary A.C.E steel tubing (heat-treated for responsiveness yet supple enough to smooth out rough roads), this machine blends classic elegance with modern performance. Whether you’re chasing KOMs on technical singletrack or commuting through urban grit, its lightweight disc-brake frameset handles every challenge with agility and poise.

Designed for real-world adventures, the Cosmic Stallion boasts clearance for 700x42mm tires (or 650bx47mm) to tackle loose trails or packed gravel with confidence. Integrated fender/rack mounts and three bottle cage bosses make it equally at home on loaded touring trips as it is on fast-paced group rides. The SRAM Rival AXS 12-speed drivetrain pairs perfectly with a wide-range 10-36t cassette, conquering steep climbs while maintaining crisp shifting under high speeds.

This Grade B demo unit—slightly marked from prior testing—retains full manufacturer warranty coverage while offering savings over new models. Its build includes premium components like Whisky No.9 CX Disc forks, All-City’s signature brazed-on seat clamp, and a comfortable Gonzo saddle—all wrapped in a striking Black/Brick/Bronze finish.

Ideal for riders between 5’9”-6’1”, its geometry balances aggressive racing posture with all-day comfort via the Whisky No.7 flared drop bars and Super-Cush grips. Unlike aluminum bikes that transmit road chatter, its steel frame absorbs vibrations while maintaining lively acceleration—making it equally suited for weekend endurance rides or weekday commutes through mixed terrain.
