• Wondered if anyone had any experience of a Cannondale Topstone gravel bike using their ‘Kingpin’ rear suspension system. Not a lot of user reviews on line that I could find with opinions on it.
    Long story short, am getting a C2W voucher this month for up to 3.5K, was looking at a Ribble gravel Ti , but after seeing the red flags on their (lack of) accounts submission to Companies House this week I am shying away from placing an order with them and after further research got interested in a Cannondale carbon Topstone in same price bracket, but have not seen anything like this Kingpin suspension before. In theory it looks appropriate especially for a gravel bike that is likely to be used mostly off-road rather than as a do-it-all bike.
    Thanks for any input.

  • Dolan GXA. Decent spec can be had for ~£2k.

    I bought one on C2W, last year, and honestly it’s brilliant fun and very capable (can take a huge tyre - currently have a 43mm in there).

    Fantastic frames, Dolans: I have a Preffisio from 2011 which is still going very strong.
