Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

Everything is fine...

You would make a great almost anything - except employee

Speaking of £4k carbon gravel bikes.. it looks as though a store in Latvia has accidentally leaked the new Checkpoint. Looks like it has a downtube storage compartment like the Domane. But also, internal cable routing through the headset 🥴

It’s in Gstaad as well, so fortunately most gravelists will be able to stay in their family chalet

Welcome to stay with me just down the road if you don't come from old money.
That photo made me think, I know fashion brands like LV have made climbing chalk bags a fashionable accessory, when are we going to see top tube bags and frame bags on the catwalk?

@Tijmen ?

I know someone who used a Domane as gravel bike with 650b. That compartment gave up. It's just a bad idea, put a removable port where choppers will hang their 1 liter bottles.

I guess they learned by now

It's errr different. The more I look the worse it gets.

Pannier rack ready, that's nice but 50c is an odd choice.. eek it out to 2.1"

Looking at the price, just get a carbonda

Is the massive BB so you can route a dropper?

Front derailleur hanger in 2021?? I thought those things were dead.

MTB skills training is highly recommended for all those roadies/golf wankers on off road bikes

MTB skills training is most definitely for clueless middle aged wankers like me

What I'm offering is ATB training, which is an entirely new niche

PM me for a quote

Also, MTB skills don't include wrench dodging

Cannot wait to throw a wrench at @amey

Everyone means wrench as in mechanic right? People can throw me at people for a fee.

How much are you willing to pay to be tossed off somewhere?

of course, and charged at premium rates :-)

willing to pay to be tossed off somewhere?

Poor choice of words

Perfect choice of words.

That top tube bag proved useful today.

The parks department has ignored this fallen tree for about 6 weeks so I finally decided to do something about it
