  • Which one of you is going to have the moustache?

  • I do not think Tijs has the blessings of facial hair.

  • Grandem?

  • srsly! if anyone has a tandem capable of gravel action myself and @yakut will take it to the dorset gravel dash 2019, win the inaugural tandem edition under the banner of LFGSS, and glory to us all

  • Must be fixed gear tho

  • fuck yeah sufferfest! I'm scared already

  • Is that @Dammit on the right?

  • I installed Bruce Gordon Rock n' Roads to my Crockett, a lovely pair of tyres.

  • Do they measure on rim at 43?

  • I measured another pair before getting mine, they were exactly 43 mm.

  • In an update. If your mudguard pops out of the river on the fork,you can go to Edwards and they'll pop out the stripped one and put a new one in.

    I still want a straggler though.

  • Interesting.

    I've had an arkose. Enjoyed it.

    Have a straggler. Is meh.

    Gonna try it with drops. Will confirm if it's still meh.

  • I’d buy a straggler over an arkose, but I cannot fathom spending that kind of cash tbh.

    My good friend has a straggler, I lust over it every ride. But I wouldn’t lose my transition for it.

  • Thinking of buying a Triban 520 Disc this week, anyone actually owned or ridden one?

  • The RC 520?

    Yep, had one since basically the week it was released. Love it, though not really using it as a gravel bike (got 32mm 4 seasons on but has clearance for much bigger). My two gripes: the mechanics in Decathlon hadn't set the front derailleur up properly, and the stock wheels are absolute bastards to get tyres off of and on to. As such I have upgraded to some Hunts. I am now struggling to work out when I will ever ride my "good" bike. It's incredibly comfy.

  • Riding a bike with 32mm tyres and mudguards has that affect... Why would you ever want that uncomfort again?

    Get a flap for the front though!

  • I have flaps ready and waiting but... lazy

  • Excellent, just what I wanted to hear Thanks

  • The Triban looks great but the geo is a bit long for me - wonder when the RC520 Gravel will drop, must be soon.

    Also has anyone got their hands on the Ribble GCR Al/Ti/725/SL? Getting an itch to order the SL but am between sizes, may have to get a train up to the Birmingham store.

  • I got my mudguards refitted.
    I'm not buying a new bike.

  • wonder when the RC520 Gravel will drop, must be soon.

    Around March time iirc.

  • Also has anyone got their hands on the Ribble GCR Al/Ti/725/SL?

    Just got another email from Ribble mentioning further delay due to non-availability of the hydro shifter. So delivery now estimated at Jan 23rd or so (my guess).

  • Just had a look at their FB page, having a bit of a mare, maybe they've sold waaay more than expected. Still, hopefully worth the wait!

  • Just rode one of these. Absolutely lovely ride with the 853 and 650b tires. Shame the fork doesn't come with rack mounts (Bore.jpeg)

  • @jameso, will the new Arkose be available frame only?
