Following on from pop culture-inspired names such as Mr Pink, Thunderdome and Log Lady, US steel specialist All-City has created the Macho Man – named after a song by the Village People (or the ring name of wrestler Randy Savage).
It’s a cyclocross-derived "everyday mount for ripping trails, bombing alleys, commuting, riding in the wet and generally getting rad".
Bags of clearance for big rubber
CX-flavoured gravel bikes like this give you bags of clearance for large diameter tyres. The Macho Man comes with 38mm rubber or you can go smaller and fit full mudguards – the bike has fittings for front and rear ’guards (but no rear rack mounts).

The chromoly steel frame and matching fork display All-City’s usual attention to detail, some of which are rare on such a decently priced frameset. These include a cast logo-embossed seat binder cluster, reinforced bottle bosses, investment-cast stainless steel vertical rear dropouts and a custom bottom bracket shell.
The frame should prove durable, thanks to its ED – electrophoretic deposition – coating. It is dipped in a paint bath and subjected to an electric charge, leaving a thin internal and external coating that’s resistant to corrosion even before primer is applied.
