Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

I do want a bike. Another bike. So it has to be at least a bit different from the other bikes

No rush at all. Still working things out.

Jan H got himself a new gravelbike(?).

Looks fit for purpose

The fenders are for aerodynamics. There's a second set with full coverage for rain.

What a fuckstick

Trying to bring SKS clip-ons back...

Why does the chain look so slack? Is he using a derailler from the 50s?

I remember my old man's road bike had little fenders like those.

Anyway, looks like a decent bin-find.

Fuckstick with a wind tunnel.

our wind tunnel tests have shown that shielding the front of the tire tread – which moves at twice the speed of the bike – provides about the same benefit as a set of aero wheels.

Will expect to see them on all Tri bikes next year.

Mud guard over the tire, pump mounted on the LH seatstay, tiny rear light mounted to the seat tube

Or Robocop sex toy!
You decide

Would take no aero lessons from a man with downtube shifters.

I'd argue that anyone mentioning aero on a bike that looks like this needs to open the windows a bit wider when they're gluing tubs.

Why? His selection of non-aero components doesn’t take away from the aero benefits of others.

What if you want downtube shifters but also want to minimise aerodynamic drag from large tyres?

There is logic behind all his stuff. I wouldn’t build the bikes he does but I’m glad he’s doing his thing in the industry.

what, marketing?

It goes back a lot further than that.

Is he using a derailleur from the 50s?

Doesn't he design his own?

No idea. I'm a sucker for things that work so I use Shimano for the most part.

As well as chain guards…

Jan H doing what Jan H does best: getting talked about
Would love to see the aero guard data

Brake levers are the biggest disappointment about that bike

Yeah, why would you waste those levers on that bike

2021!
