2023 Marin Gestalt XR - Xtra Rad Mountain Biker's Gravel Bike: specifications, geometry, sizing

This was a surprisingly tough review to do because there's so much to talk about. The spec on this bike is pretty killer for the price: that part is straight forward.
When a bike has a unique geometry that actually changes the bike's handling characteristics though, then there's a lot to talk about and hard (at least for me) to discuss in a quick and easy manner.
Remember: Bike Bros. is a Cochrane, Alberta based bike shop with an owner (me) who has been in the bike industry for 38 years, have ridden at a pretty high level, have some engineering education and still aim at putting 5000 km on my bikes this year. The shop staff are all passionate and smart bike people and we talk about bikes non-stop.
