Thats good intel thank you.
3k for 8 tubes is not cheap, but if you have the money it makes sense to fulgfill the sworks desire. It will be just as fast as your road SL in 1x11 !
A successful gravel + road build ?

@GoatandTricycle flat black, full finger print magnet spec. Lovely, but it’s going to be a pain in the arse to keep clean! Buy one! :)
@Glws yeah, it’s a kind of one bike to rule them all - which is perfect for my locale. There is a lot of riding around here that’s unlocked with a quick traverse across some off road stuff.
I’m staying off the road for a bit though until I get my confidence back, which is why the SL7 had to go. It genuinely was used twice last year.40 ring up front with a 11-40 at the back. If I can’t get up something in 1:1 im in trouble!

£2999 from Certini / Specialized Concept Store. 2022/07 Manufacture date.
I could have bought a whole bike for that, I know (see left pic) - but I scoped out the bit's that I would be left with when I'd stripped it down, realised I would probably get £500 back ( thus £2k for frameset) and couldn't really justify the time and effort when I already have a frame and parts to shift.
So, got a bit #buyer and went with the S-Works, again. To be honest; hoping to get a fair chunk back of that from the sale of the Sl7. This will be my do it all bike.
Yes, I'm going with G-Ones for my first foray into gravel. 45c and the more aggressive ones, because mountain biker at heart. They'll also be on 40mm deep rims. I do not conform. lolz.
