Now that's the one @platypus should buy!

*when he's about 60

That’s not a Trek though.

Good 'Californian' mud clearance on that.

And presumably it's an ebike from the acres of downtube/headtube.

Aero bike or MTB, just not both please

Strange photo, almost looks photoshopped. Is it the harsh light?

Blustery slippy no gravel out in Warwickshire today.

Does anyone with a powermeter or otherwise know how many calories you burn riding off road vs riding on the road at the same speed? I'm assuming it's a bit more effort because of the surface and bumps.

Just rode 60 km out the Lea river towpath and back, and Strava has calculated 900 cals for the effort, which seems low for how dead my legs are.

5% more per mile, purely based on not being allowed to wear lycra.

Nope. Let's just delete this thread now, everyone gets a clean slate, and we all start again by buying a MTB

Hardtail for gravel.
Full suspension for gravel with lumps in it.

Those are your only choices.

Full sus trail e-bike to trample dog walkers in cyclepaths.

Hahahaha what?

Strava has generated random numbers

ftfy

I don't know what the uproar is, that bike is a fusion of the last 5 years of this thread

Functional gravel 👍
