:D Cool, forgot that!

Surly does make a 31,8mm bar too, the Cheater, 780 wide, but it doesn't have any rise.

Any input on the return leg east of the A23? It's still a bit WIP on that side.. NCN21 also a bit too far East for my liking

What's the road to off road ratio on this route?

Currently 46/54 respectively, hoping to end more like 40/60 after a final review, but any more off-road than a 50/50 and I'm happy enough for a distance like that

You can do the Avenue Vert route instead North of Crawley. Bit dull in places but there are limited options

I realised it does say once you click on the link... Route looks good, I maybe planning a off road rode to Brighton in August and this looks very helpful :)

There's some crabon bar stem combo that's similar

Honestly I feel like this is the best £50 I ever spent. Covered about 40km of mostly gravel tracks yesterday, it's so lovely to be able to explore places that I just wouldn't chance on my skinny-tyred bikes.

Now that’s the spirit of gravel.

Not sure if you've headed that way already, but great paths and tracks around longmoor and Borden, and the old loss railway, and Hogsmoor enclosure too.

Low quality bike % big quality vibes = huge quality good times.

Oh that's good. Bit green maybe, but very good.
What is it?

"I was going to put a 240mm dropper in the bike for photos or for her to try. I thought that I had one in stash but it turned out that I didn’t, so she just got the 210mm post that she had been using. I think that I have the space for her to use something between 220 and 240mm of drop. I’ll try that at another time in the future."

ehl oh ehl

1400# used to be a bike!

People will pay anything just to be current

There’s always L-Twoo

Haha why is he a douchebag? I only just came across his site and missed the memo. Next step after this is to just put a stem on backwards

He really truly believes that he's the greatest thing to ever happen to the bike industry, and other people just aren't capable of recognising this fact

Like the look of his bleed kit thing
