Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

This is nuts. Bike prices are going to rise faster than bitcoin.

mad that 1400 only gets you cables and 9speed.

Clearances only go to 700 x 42 but these are Ok value at the moment all things considered

Orro Terra C

Have a look at Decathalon... They had stock of their Crabon GRX last week...

Thru axles and flat mount killed 600 pound steel frames. Brexit killed choice. Covid killed supply chains.

Time for @BareNecessities to update thread title to fabled arkose and dwindling Evans Cycles.

Not only does gravel not exist, gravel bikes don't exist.

Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Are These Prices Real Hahahaha cyclist, Just Stick The Gas Pipe In Two Triangles Like Cyclist use quick release Haha

If I’m going to be ripped off, I at least want to know that part of my money is going to be spent on PDF’s and nice photos of beautiful people in forests

I have an orro Terra c and have enjoyed it a lot, my first through axle hydro brake modern non mtb and it’s great for road, winter rides and light gravel- will be a bit more ambitious this year. Clearance is tight though

Clearance is tight though.

Road race bike have more!

The prices are nuts at the minute.. I saw a Genesis Equilibrium disc with GRX / 105 hydro for £2600... Mental..

TBF it's the Genesis that are slightly more expensive than the others.

My Arkose D3 turned into a sweet fixie last week (with only 1000km of use since new).

If I remove the freehub to look for gremlins ... Evans will screw me on the warranty won’t they?

Just the freehub? probably, not going to void the warranty on the frameset.

Ok. I’ll resist the urge to fiddle.

I’m quite happy with the frameset :)

not artisan gram like inducing enough

Given the arkose doesn't exist, what is the go to (in stock) £1500 grave bike

I just did a 2021 Arkose today. £1500, 1x GRX, looks almost the same than the previous one.

It's probably just dirty, I've seen a few. Easy enough to remove and clean the pawls, but maybe best if you get it done there just in case.

And to think just a year ago you could get a basically brand new Arkose with 105 and hydro brakes for a mere £500...

Imagine how cheap the secondhand prices will be next year...

TBF the retail price for the highest range 105 was £1300

Ooh, got a link for the purple seat post and headset spacers?

prices on ebay for arkose are still quite reasonable

I spotted new bikes on Evans website recently as well.
Also spotted that Felt gravel bikes are pretty cheap and look quite well specced for the money.
