Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

For the sake of humanity, I'll never make the mistake of being bored again

Xterra has been around for years. Do I dare click this link to find out what nonsense is created anew?

Gravel?

If it's in here, it immediately becomes gravel

Thought it was bedrock

Silly, that's a fictional prehistoric city in The Flintstones cartoon

I shouldn't like that...

But I do. Helps that it doesn't have GRX or a dropper.

I shouldn't like that...

Edited for you

Not quite beach racers

These handlebars should be supplied with an instruction manual

Knees out. Elbows straight. Full beam straight front. Hi vis waterproof all year round. Never do a gesture onto oncoming cyclists and aggressively stick to your lane in the canal.

is that the live feed commentary from gravel triathlon series?

Rough Stuff

Ideally they should have a primus stove clamped to the top tube, a Brooks saddle, and a Carradice saddle bag.

Mate is looking to buy first proper bike, and taking the advice of the forum: "just buy an Arkose".

He's 188cm, torn between L and XL. Pinnacle sizing suggests CL, but he's not very flexible, and Im thinking he's better off on a shorter bike. Its easy to get a longer stem down the road.

Anyone here riding an Arkose around his height?

Edit: Also some proper shitfromabutt in Epping today, questionable choices had been made (35 slicks, SPD-SL) as we were supposed to stay on the hard packed roads.... we didnt.

I'm 193cm and the XL fit me like a glove when I tried it, so I'd say L

I'm 186 and have rode both a medium and large... Medium is fine for a racier fit but a large would be better a fit. A large is a good shout.

I'm exactly that height, no flexibility problems and I had an XL. Big bikes are better off road, if it's only for road maybe a smaller size, but only if he can deal with the bigger drop.
