i think its time us brits took our insperation back
it's clear we cant keep lusting after pastel colour Californian dust bikes which they wont even sell here
we need vivid tones to cut through the grey
29r wheels to get rollover for the roots
it needs to not make us look like a yank on holiday
it needs to be low on import tariffs
it cant have tan walls which get ruined after a single ride
it needs a built in caridice support
it's time to take our gravel back
enough of this simping over american gravel culture,
where they get 2 days of rain a year, where they have mountains and fire roads
we ride 4 mile sections of bridal path at a time before for we're stopped by a oddly shaped gate and we like it, we savour it, it's time for our bikes to reflect this
