Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

no way man, that Rosso Red is ::shades::

really like the look of that fog cutter

LFGSS hivemind...

Are there any good websites to find/plan gravel rides? Failing that, anyone got any good loops in Surrey/Hants (c.50 miles)

why not a steel niner rtl

This is a route stolen from a CX sportive

They look great in the flesh.

Miyata Six Ten touring bike from the 80's, got that v-brake clearance and japanese steel

This is excellent, right down to the drivetrain.

Spotted in Adelaide. Is this an ancient proto gravel bike? Drum brake and hub gears?

Old grass track racer?

Drum brakes are alive! yep defo old path/grass track racer.

come into my world - The Route Planning Thread

I use/contribute to Gravelmap.

It doesn't seem like Miyata bikes were available in Europe at the time (pre-Koga Miyata), sigh. All I'm finding are ones for sale in North America or Japan.

That's a well thought out bicycle.

Anyone know where I could get a good sized tyre for a 700/29er rim. Thinking G One Allround or similar, 47 min

You can gravé on a Pashley Governor. They’re good on poor surfaces. This is pretty similar.

Just been very generously gifted a Canyon Inflite AL. Tempted to try 650b on it but wondering if anyone else has done this and what clearance is like?

I have an XLA
I have used Hyper voyager 38c on dp ryde rims.

Much as I don’t like my orange rx9 (besides the fact it’s orange) it handles a hilly road/gravel ride easily today. The big rock thing is ‘robin hoods dicking stone’. I’ve never used a dicking stone so couldn’t begin to suggest what he used it for

Nice to see one of my stem bags out there in the wild (I am bblack with a new username...), Hope it's holding up well for you!

dicking stone

Google is very illuminating

Yeh it’s going great. I bought 4 and they’re all going well. 2 take turns carrying a mug of porridge to work each day,one on my wife’s bars for all the stuff she endlessly loses like keys, phone, and one on the youngest lad’s seat which he mainly fills with leaves!
