Altera G21 DB Gravel Bike Frameset
Created: July 18, 2025The reviewer states the full name for the frameset is the 'Ulio G21 Alterara gravel frame set' and later refers to it as the 'Altera' and 'Alterara'. They describe it as UCI approved, robust and strong, though not the lightest frame available. Key features highlighted include the T47 threaded bottom bracket, UDH compatibility, two storage compartments, mudguard/fender mounts, and clearance for up to 53mm tires. The reviewer compares it to the older Yolio G21 model, noting differences like the round seatpost, updated bottom bracket standard, and added storage. They praise the quality of the threads, prep work, and included manual, concluding it is a good option for a durable, bombproof gravel bike for off-road enjoyment rather than serious racing.
