Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

For once a Lauf doesn’t make a bike look uglier.

Pretty cool imo

After my initial reaction, I realise it's a just a Look XC that's oddly equipped with a Lauf fork.

And yeah I love Look's use of De Stijl colours and design, it's everything else!

That look is awesome

The Look was on FB marketplace in Bolton, can't find the ad again but was £1500 I think

Or sell up at a profit

Flat bars aside I like that. Looks like a cat about to pounce.

Actually there is a Fat bike thread, idiota >>>

I gravel now. Team Crux reporting.

Rode it round the bungalows and squishy tyres are nice.

Wait... Is that Dura Ace Di2 with an XTR RD but SRAM Red Quarq ting?

Love it!

Will. Not. Conform.

Yup - ran the same setup for a couple of years on my Sl7 (with a 50T) and as tempting as moving to a Force > XX1 setup was, this just works for me.

Oof S-works wanker and power meter wanker. Well done.
Needs full axs though for full marks.

Beware the s-works saddle on gravel bike. I think we’re in the same heavyweight 100kg+ category? Mine cracked under my big arse.

Rails or shell? Because I just happen to have acquired a titanium railed one…

113KG 😳 and buys a S-Works to save grams. Lolz.

Posted elsewhere, but there's at least one 3T Exploro Rival Xplr in small on Wiggle or £1,250.00 which seems very cheap. Geo doesn't work for my wife, otherwise I'd buy immediately. https://www.wiggle.com/p/3t-exploro-team­-rival-axs-1x-gravel-bike-2022?index=n&s­izeStandard=S&color=sand

The shell developed a small crack in the middle and one of the rails debonded from the shell. One of my pals, who's considerably lighter than me, had a rail debond on two saddles, both warrantied. The weight limit for the saddle is 108kg, I was 105kg at the time. Stick with the Ti!

Ooof.
Can I claim that most of my weight is in my legs and not on top of the saddle?
Ti will be fitted shortly.

In my defence the Fizik Kurve I run which are notorious for cracked / snapped rails is still going strong on my mountain bike after 10 years :)

I hope those are gravel specific

Olala!

Don't worry, they didn't compromise on looks. I'm sure it is hugely comfortable though

That spatula is available at kitchen provisions in stokie

Links or gtfo

The flat bit I get but what's the point of the little knobby bit? Is it to stop all the hipsters that went from cut down bars on fixie skidderz move their hands right near the stem?

what's the point of the little knobby bit?

I get asked this way to often.
