Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

Saw this on strava and thought of you lot. Looks like a try hard version of my Arkose.

ew..

First oval chainrings now oval wheels?

I'm not a fan, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt due to the photo or bike angle.

No gravel in fife

Keep looking at carbon bikes!! Do I need one nope, do I want one yes. But is it worth the change from the Stayer...

Only real reason is I never have had a carbon bike, I work from home so do lunch time blasts and expect to do a few events this year so really not needing a full weather bike..

Take the guards off, borrow or buy some 50/60mm carbon rims with 30c GP5000 and see if it scratches the itch..?!

Like this you mean?

50s G Ones on my Scribes which are currently on under the guards.

put the steel bike crack pipe down

pick up your carbon bike costco card

you need a carbon bike

Carbon is a fake material. I don’t think anyone has ever seen a carbon bike in real life. They’re a myth.

Aluminium is the best gravel bike material and I will die on this hill

It's true, the CAAD10 is the perfect do-it-all bicycle.

As a frame material may I suggest……..

the top tube is slotted to allow the easy attachment of frame bags

Steel makes the best steel crack pipe bike

Carbon to rule them all

Ok sure.

I do have Hunt X wide 35s which have my Rene Herse on maybe I should try it but think smaller tyres would look a little silly on this frame, hence why I don’t think it will help scratch the itch

Much custom bag fittings

A shame that most brands don't put any effort on doing good alloy bikes anymore

Plus why are bikes so expensive these days!!

Because people keep paying it.

Carbon can actually be repaired to a good level - guess this is a fairly solid argument, particularly for gravel.

What guards are you running over 50's?
