Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

stem is pretty offensive EDIT jumped the gun, I see this has already been covered

After @snoops post, I'm not sure what can be posted here anymore

I'm basically asking if it works ok?

Yes

I just can't trust articles featuring bikes that are THAT clean.

I have a never-ridden Crux sat here that's dirtier than that fucking bike.

When the owner is dirtier than their bike one of two things definitely needs to change

I’m feeling repeatedly triggered by these bar positions. Another BUHD candidate.

I'm not sure if there is a correct way to position those bars

This is the correct way to position those bars

On that set up they should be almost pointing at the bb. But now that Dropbar MTBs are gravel crushers I guess all bets are off?

Pretty sure there are no rules that apply to monster truck bikes :-)

I'd still ride it down the GSH

Stooge say otherwise
Dirt drops won’t make any sense at all until you set them up outlandishly high so your bike looks like a complete freak
TLDR https://stoogecycles.co.uk/2019/09/14/in-which-the-ck-flyer-becomes-a-drop-bar-beast-of-burden-or-dirt-drops-and-how-to-use-em/
But follow this and they are great, set up as road or gravel, not so much.

Oh no. There’s a custom bike show coming up…

3.25" tyres? That's no monster truck ;-)

They are... inevitable

But Lee Majors would ride it

Hopefully in slo-mo

*wrong character, I know

That would explain the global shortage on neckerchiefs.

Artisanal couture doesn't happen by accident

I feel a bit sick saying those words

The bars on my Spa are pretty much like those. I made them. Positioned very similarly to that I get even pressure across the whole width of my hand when I’m the ‘drops’ which I think is why they are so comfortable.

I think this is the wrong approach, you have to align it so it looks good on a photo.
