So long story short, I have the opportunity to get a custom frameset which normally would be firmly outside of my price range. I can get more or less whatever I want so I need to mood board.
Road bike wise, I'm fairly happy already. I have my Ti winter bike which I designed and had built by Waltly and I've got (but haven't finished building) a Supersix, a size too small for the slammed summer whip.
Fixed gear: I sold the fixed bike when I moved house in August and I do still look on in envy as my idols YML and GLWS etc do their long fixed kent rides however I'm currently in Sussex and it's bloody hilly. Whilst I'm no stranger to grinding up and down a few lumps, I don't think I would take a fixed road bike out that often unless it was an organised ride which aren't super often.
So GravelRig™. I've got an Arkose, it's rad, it's the perfect gravel bike. But I'm not attached to it sentimentally like my other bikes so I think I'll swap it for a custom jobby.
