Was MvdP wearing Lidl carrier bags on his feet for the muddy bits?

Overshoes that he took off towards the finish, no?

LIDL bags go over the socks IN the shoes. Cheap, functional.

Still a noob though...

This is all roadies trying to MTB for all of time ^

Ha, thanks? Yeah SRAM 10 speed, Rival shifters and FD with a medium cage X0 rear derailleur, the beauty of exact actuation. 46/32 (would love to find the 30t ring for sale separately) with an 11-36 cassette.

nice. weird in a good way, P-funk a bit ? :)

can you do similar with 11 hydro shifters ? command a clutched 10speed Exact-actuation rear derailleur with, say, rival hydro 11 speed ?

Winter Hill

Photos and bike look great. What size are your Cinturatos?

Cheers, they're 700 x 45 and the M variety.

Cool. They look very nice and beefy. I am hoping I can fit them in the 40c version.

I love how bars are flipped to get them a bit lower

Pedersen vibes

the best part is it's being sold as a "custom build" and looks to be brand new

That thing shouldn't exist

I believe so, yes.

There's room for all God's (there is no God) creatures on Earth, surely?

"Aaay, yoou guuysss...."

Even triathletes?

It’s winter hill. That’s winter hill mast and I assume you’re on the other side of the hill from rivvington but I can’t place where you are! I used to run up there for hours and hours of my life but now we moved across Manchester I never do. Should go back there

@BareNecessities can you go back a year and chose your 12 fav bikes in this thread for 2021?

How else will we have this year's lfgss gravel calendar
