any good steel frame bicycles for gravel or road bikes in malaysian markets now? I saw the advantages of steel are the nice smooth snd comfortable ride because of the steel flex absorbs the vibrations and bumpiness (i did remember my cheap steel road bike 15 years ago didn't give me problems of bumpiness at all, sadly it was stolen)

one brand i saw here is marin nicasio+

hello wanna ask, what 700x25c tyres are harder compound that is more resistant to tear from small rocks, because my route has to deal with some very small portion of gravel, very old asphalt and lots of small rocks on the side of pan borneo road construction. my maxxis detonator tyre kena tear until see benang. grip not my priority but hopefully not expensive like those vittoria, cos if tear again sakit hati to replace.
