Andy Schleck reckons that Ekar is the only good gravel groupset.

Hard to setup right, expensive spares, no power meter. I love Ekar but for the money I'd rather have old 11sp Rival.

I guess when you had a successful riding career and own bike shops and carbon factories, money and setup are less concern.

There are more ugly bikes out there than there are pretty ones.
This means your work is not so impressive after all. You realize that?

Had good fun on my Sturdy gravel bike on Badgers Divide this week, it was up to the task nicely.

Literally a day after roasting @PhilDAS 's saddle.

Would ride that tbh. Holy saddle and all

@BareNecessities what clearer signs are you waiting for to close the thread?

I'm still lobbying to have gravel made into a sub-forum, so I can simply ban Amey from posting

this bike costs £9000

So $500 then

I've ridden one of these and am very sorry to report that it actually rules.

lets move on

What @hulsroy said

Spesh isn’t the first to use that idea.
Durability would be a concern.

You've changed..

It looks…unresolved.

Speciarello grevirge

weak potential IMO, nothing new/unique

(jokes aside I'd take it for a ride out of morbid curiosity)

How much is a Trek Procaliber?

Right so I’m only getting started in this gravel malarkey (I.e. I’ve moved to Walthamstow and just discovering the joys of Epping).

Is this thread just posting ugly bikes?
