Hello,

So my girlfriend turned to me and said she wants to do some more adventure style cycling and to explore the off road routes.

What have people got in terms of a gravel bike for sale, budget is from 1k up to maybe 1.5k. It's something she will commute on aswell so nothing too fancy as she's got a decent road bike.

Just get an Akrose??

Thanks,
Joel

What's the max tyre you'll be wanting to fit?
I have this Light Blue Wolfson Sport, practically new, takes 33mm wide tyres WITH guards, I know it's not disc braked but unless you're doing insanely muddy trails then that shouldn't be an issue.
Decent 20" bottom gear 24-32, I tried 35mm Conti speed cyclocross on them and they fit

I'm keen for 40mm minimum as the local tracks are bumpy fields, thanks though

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
