Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

That Cannondale is amazing.

I just want to sell everything, as well as any extra organs and get one.

Riding the gravel trails we have up here. The thing that gets you is the protruding rocks that bounce the front wheel. The small bump absorption of a lefty would make so much difference I reckon. Plus they look awesome.

I'm actually tempted to start Ebaying stuff now and opening a saving account called bad-arse-dale.

because this lot seem like cuuuuuuuuuuunts

No, your a cunce.

I mean, running a trendy brevet on old steel bikes to celebrate an overlooked heritage; that's cool and interesting

asking people to ride 160km of gravel / desert, carry their own water but not take a camelbak because of the .~aesthetics~. can fuck RIGHT off. Maybe the people above are exempt because they did it in black and white.

Technically CX but still. Love this thing

Very nice. Love that frame, and that colour is lovely.
@Dakin, is that your bike, and where was the pic taken? Looks like Hebden Bridge way.

Sadly not, can't remember where I found it now.

It's from the Radavist.

Cheers. Will have a look.

another from prolly

A few years ago a bike with that geo was called a sportive bike. How is that different to a Specialized Roubaix? So wank.

no flatmount in 2015 .. sigh

Who's building that Red Orlowski with rocker dropouts? That deserves a place in here before it's even been built.

Also - my most recent fave and new-build-inspiration:

oh dear. Just imagine how awful the water will taste when the mouth piece is caked in mud

It's a good spot for tool bottles or stove fuel. I had bottle mounts placed there for the fat bike.

Good spot for bidons too, if the bike is equipped with fenders.

I've never had a bottle mounted there, but I always thought if i wanted to drink from it, i'd just change the cap with one from a bottle I've been using in the "normal spots"?

dispite being On-one and the dodgy name this looks quite good.

Is it really called that? Oh dear.

Same price as Datum (frameset).
Impressive value for Sram 1x build.

Buy it, strip it down, paint, build again, done.

Tigbot should be in here
