Mincing is great what do you have against mincing

I like to mince my words.

@leggy_blonde Why imagine it, when you can do exactly that.

I've been out "having a life", but glad to see someone pick up this ticket in my absence

Mincing and shredding don't sound too dissimilar

OOOF. Perfect for Engerlish gravel.

It’s quite evoquey

Probably more capable off-road tbh.

I've always used it in the "she's a badass" sense. I think I picked it up from a bike forum in Oz many years ago from another cool bike chick I knew.

That's not to say I've never bad boomer-esque jokes about her, but they'd typically be delivered to her face so she can punch me if she feels I didn't deliver it well enough.

If I put a canister bag on the Shiv's handlebars, is it a gravel bike?

Looooooool

evoquative

Korrekt!

Big discounts on the Arkose right now, any reason not to go for it over a hypothetical 2022 model?

Top Arkose model on sale was 800-1000 not so long ago, depressing to see the prices now.
Still a great bike with a solid build, grab it or pay 3 grand next year

Welp, it's out of stock in my size already.

Edit: maybe the website was struggling. Just managed to order one after a few delayed attempts.

It's like a theme park of gravel wankery

It’s a brilliant frameset (with the full carbon fork) worthy of upgrades IMO. I like it 2x11 though for bits of road in between, which is the reality in the south east. Mine…

My first thought was: this would look great with a traditional rack and panniers... maybe I'm getting old

Mixture of frozen ruts, sheet ice and gravel today.

I was trying to cycle in similar this morning, what sort of tyres were you using?
