Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

@Lolo generally.

in conclusion, just get an arkose

Alright @PhilDAS

generally.

It's a bit vague.

The only thing that was really wrong is Condor over pricing their pretty nice bikes

I'll take a couple of pics of it in carrying stuff mode the next time I'm out and about.

Theres a lot of bashing the Grail, but i'm sort of enjoying the bars that come with it.

Literally the most important thing for me RN is mudguard mounts.

Counts a lot of bikes out.

Grail kinda like but I want a winter road bike really with discs and clearance for dece tyres.

Bivio Gravel kinda makes sense, but a bit spendy and plan on locking up at work, which worries me. Also realistically whilst the idea of having a set of road wheels and graveaux 650 bees to swap out, I’m more of a n+1 guy.

Crockett?

Arkose.

Get what you’re saying, the Endurace is the perfect winter bike ever if they actually have mudguard mount.

alright PhilDas ;)

(you're right tho)

i feel like the light mounting situation on the bars still keeps it from that, but i'd probably have one anyway if it hard mudguard mounts.

Does it have mudguard mounts? Pretty sure mine doesn't. Maybe more recent versions do.

Yep, you could have been racing with proper fitted mudguards:

yeah the 2020 ones do

It’s SO annoying that the endurace doesn’t have guard mounts. Keeps me up at night.

I quite like the look of space chickens.

I missed out, fortunately, on buying the xls carbon recently as it was really silly price.

Clearance up to 38mm tyres (40mm with 650b) yet no easy way to attach mudguard.

Just FYI selling my Kinesis if anyone is interested

It’s a bit too much of a truck for me.

I’ve had one and wouldn’t get one again.

Has anyone ridden a Scott Speedster Gravel 20? I want to get in on the gravel action and it’s one for sale around here. Specs looks good but read a few things about the frame not being great?

Clearance seems on the small side, 40mm I think, so not sure I can get decent gravel tyres in there with fenders for winter?

I’ve fallen out of love with road bikes recently, so decided to jump back on the gravel bandwagon. Clearance on these things is nuts.
