• I’d like a gravel bike thing to follow cjr around Epping Forest, I’d also like to replace my Ribble 525 commuter / winter bike.

    Can a gravel bike have full mudguards and still function on paths and light trails? Do decent, easily removable full mudguards exist?

    What’s the bike that’ll do Epping paths, commute and 4 hour road rides on a weekend in winter? Ideally not generic and boring, steel is cool for locking up etc but carbon is nice too… I’ve never bought a full bike new, but not adverse to the idea. Happy to build up from second hand or new frame too.

    No fucker has invented them yet. All you need is some sort of quick release attachment point that works with an M5 threaded hole, for the stays and bridges. It should be a piece of piss but it doesn't seem to exist
