• Keep looking at a new frame to port everything off my Kepler, just unsure what to go for.

    Carbon, titanium or steel custom, was supposed to have a custom steel this made but the company seemed to not want my busy with them making an excuse for not contacting me until I chased them and so left a bad taste.

    Keep looking at Open but think they could be over priced, plus want to go big on tyre sizes on 700/29.

    Anything good out there currently will need a xl or similar size due to long legs

  • Have you seen one in flesh / test ridden? They are spendy but worth it IMO. Open WI.DE may be worth looking at if you want big tyres.

    Personally I cannot get my head around a carbon framed gravel bike.

    Yep. I'd take one that was given to me but hard pass on shelling out £££ for one.

  • Several years ago I didn't approve of non-steel bikes, didn't see the point of di2 and was pretty dubious about gravel bikes.
    I now own a carbon di2 gravel bike.
    I still don't really approve of them and not really sure how this came about (though it's sort of Amey's fault and sort of my fault for being unable to resist a bargain), but it's a lot of fun.

  • Have seen Open in the flesh, but have also heard they are over priced for the carbon and layup used.

    Not ridden as never in my size
