Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB - AKA Just get a red squirrel

Lol I did 'that' to my build. New (not old gen) Force levers were too scarce and pointlessly expensive.

@snoops and @PhilDAS on top of the "medium" arkose game right now, putting those cruxes to shame

But is your frame £7k custom ti?

Not at all, but I've been called out for putting Rival on my Pinarelllo Grevil.

Oooft a borderline case for sure ;-)

It sure is. I argue that Pinarelllo sell a build with full Rival, whereas mine was just the calipers and levers! The rest is sensibly Force and Red. Those iridescent ti levers would go very well with my build and colour scheme, but no way would I pay that lol. The frame cost me less than 2 pairs of those. Yikes.

Don’t worry I’ll be deleting all these posts in a few days ;-)

If someone could start printing those levers as stickers, with some sort of slightly grippy texture, that'd be grand. 👍

PNW Rainier dropper- it’s quite old now I think, but is it good?

Things you love to see. ^^

Will DM nudes ;-)

Took a while!

Thank God it's another Crux and not an Arkose.

All prices on the Sturdy site are ‘Plus VAT’ (but naughty) so the levers are £480

I think we need to organise an Arkose vs Crux blind taste test in Epping Forest. I have some H&S concerns, but we need to get to the bottom of this.

I'll draft the route now! Swap bikes halfway?

I’m m not sure which way round will be funnier size wise here…?

We all go one size up, and you end up with the short straw, literally

"Just get an Arkose, or maybe a Crux"

Yes, but don’t touch my seat post. It’s worth more than the frameset and I don’t want it being scratched above ground.

Is that why you only come out once a quarter?

No that’s ptsd

Anyone doing the Hub Velo Strada Bianche route on Saturday?
