Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

I was about to say this

@TM @amey

A mans gotta take what a mans gotta take.

Loads of grav not pictured, loads of trails unsuitable for a 26" rigid mtb not picture, bailed twice also not pictured.....

Fire roads or gravel?

Now that the UCI are going to ruin gravel, are we seeing a shift towards fire roads for true #adventure

Various types of no gravel in Oman. Actual gravel bike didn't arrive in time for the trip, so cobbled together a very anti 26er. Seems like a good place for gravel adventure. Quite warm really.

• Triple
  
• Logo hell
  
• Sad bidons
  
• Non-matching cable housing
  
• Unnecessary suspension
  
• Saddle bag wtf
  
  
  

That bike looks like a weapon!! I bet its way better on that terrain* than any grave bike would be!

*downhill.

this looks like a bad overpriced cross bike but I still want to know what it is

You should post in the Principia-thread, it's great!

Very nice. It doesn't need to be much more difficult to build a nice bike

Salalah region?

It really doesn't.

Its all very parts bin built, basic wheels, no fancy parts apart from the xt brakes and levers and they're not even that fancy!

Super fun for not alot of money

Looks superb 👍

It was very fun going downhill on the rough stuff tbf. Not at all fun on the horribly hilly 20km of tarmac getting there!

Ad Dakhiliyah/Al Hajar mountains region.

Really wanted to go to Salalah for the end of Khareef, but couldn’t make it work unfortunately. Hopefully next year, it looks incredible!

Compliant.

I’m catching a train tomorrow morning to the Gravesend then on to the Isle of Grain to complete some unsettled business. If anyone wants to join?*

*qualified life guards to the front, or anyone who can Chuck a life ring a fair distance :-)

Greatest mountain passes I’ve ever seen. Food 10/10, people 10/10, Sea incredible… Salalah is worth any effort required.

Not that what I seen in Al Jahar wasn’t incredible

Woo. That looks pretty spectacular. The scenery, anyway. Although the bike doesn't look that bad either. I've ridden worse.

Sorry, Hoo?

You do, voodoo?

Ah, Wicked Game. Haven't listened to that album for years. Will do tonight.

What you don't dare do, people.

I'm mildly interested in this adventure actually...

Well I’ll be catching a train at 9ish from Deptford. Otherwise I’ll report back.
