Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

Didn't want to take you with him...?

this is almost identical to the RC 520 - just that the bars are slightly flared and better tyres

Its a bloody steel cross bike with clearance for slightly fatter tyres. Not the solution to all the world's problems you prick.

This is the TL;DR of this thread

Arkose is aluminium

HipsterHybrid?

Grybrid??

I was thinking more the sentiment than the accuracy to be honest

I was just being obtuse.

But yeah I agree

Gravel is dying, what's next?

Proper mountainbikes.

Riding fixed gear track bikes in a prodominantly urban environment?

Riding fixed gear track bikes in a prodominantly urban environment?

That'll never catch on

I was thinking of steel rigid 29ers. They've been in for a few years but I think it'll be the next step for the trend following crowd

Are you saying I'm ahead of the curve? I'm almost ready to die now, only being featured in the hhsrb and the 'shit fixie skidders say' threads are left.

Needs more olive drab, framebags and plus tyres

Jeez, tough crowd.

This is exactly what I rode to work this morning.

In London.

Olive drab. plus tired. frame bagged drop bar bike.

This I can understand

I was thinking of steel rigid 29ers

Shit, I need a new hobby now

I was literally thinking this yesterday, gravé is now passé. It won't be steel 29ers, that's too hardcore for the MAMILs so no money in it. People trading in 5-year-old carbon for high performance alu road bikes and wireless shifting within C2W price range in the next few years I reckon.

Edit: Audax next big trend, read it and weep. Normies doing 200s inspired by ultra guys. (← me)
