Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

I think you're only allowed to get a Rourke or an e-bike now, old man

It is fork we would want to run ourselves.

Maybe 147 pages of PDF is just too much to check if there are words missing?

And while the brakemount and hanger are beautiful, having the through axle threads replaceable on the standard dropouts on my Stooge is a nicer.

Also, do people run flatmount on those gravel bikes that look like MTBs from 15 years ago?

Around here that's known as an ATB, thank you very much ;-)

:) 💕

The attention to detail in marketing materials and the flipped image of the brake mount is kinda dissonant in my opinion.

Unless it's some kind of level 9000 hyper optical illusion.

That's not flipped but seen from underneath.

Fairlight has done a good job of doing cheap flat plate style dropouts with an appropriate amount of details.
I do feel the gear hanger is a bit of a Hunter Cycles rip off tho.

Took me a while, but hulsroy is right.

Ah, there was a raffle where you could win ATB adventures?

Yeah was going to say that’s took some time, lol’d at the painted mech.

If all the purple bits were the same colour as the frame, Rockshox logo deleted and somehow get rid of 12 miles of cables, then I’d ride it.

Oh yeah! As soon as you say it, suddenly it's obvious. :)

When I have my own oxy-acetylene kit, workshop and spray booth? I think not.

spray booth?

I didn't know you'd moved to Essex?

Maybe you could top up @spotter 's tan for him

I'm not sure a deep metal flake and a 2 pack clear will necessarily be the look he's after.

And Cambridgeshire, not Essex. We share a border, but that's all.

Oh darling, you are ever so droll

Hi 👋

I had to rotate the laptop to understand.

Got an actual look at a Lauf Seigla in the flesh today... I want one

A 30.9 or 31.6mm seat tube would be unnecessarily stiff and heavy.

I’m just not sure this is true? Most XC bikes have been coming with a 31.6 post for years now

Also BikeYolk make a 31.6 dropper that’s lighter than a few carbon posts now.
