Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

British "Gravel"?

can vouch for this place...great to deal with, and good selection of tyres

My kinesis in all it’s gravel glory (I'm aware the front mudguard needs tweaking!)

Canyon Grail finally shows up tomorrow.

That handlebar.

That handlebar

OMG

What the fuck

Give it to the Germans to design the future of handlebars

"How can we make a frame with higher stack, without buying any new moulds?"

Paging @Rod_Munch

Is it the 1st of April already?

@Gaston proves once again that he is at the forefront of bicycle innovation:

Please tell me it has a built in cup holder?

The most eye-catching element of the grail is the Hover bar. Its unique double-deck configuration is born to better meet the rider's requirements for a steering wheel that is resilient on the top, providing comfort when cruising around uneven surfaces and stiffening in the bend of spurts or downs.
The fluid Flex range utilizes the elastic properties of the carbon to gently divert and absorb shocks and vibrations that are transmitted through the rider. The Hover control adds only 120 grams to a conventional cockpit setup and is easier than alternative suspension systems and is free of maintenance.

Sheldon really is the ultimate resource

OMG

A steering wheel, eh? Also I am sure that specialized will love that they call it hover bar.
I kind of like it. Stupid, but different.

I like the boldness but not the non-compatilibity with "normal" 1 1/4 stems

hmm i think you actually can use other 1 1/4 stems too

Aero gravel might be a thing now, but I think taking track bike geometry to the world of gravé might be a step too far. The non-standard 1 ¼ steerer also massively reduces the number of stems available.

Would give it a nice saddle to bar drop.

can someone photoshop some flowers like on windowsill planters and teapot on those Hover bars pls

just plonk spacers until well above tt if the steerer allows :-)

The most annoying things is the centres flat so can’t really mount conventional shit that well without proprietary mounts.

So close to be decent, more stack and normal bars it’d have been proper.

Also can’t be arsed working out actual stack and reach to see if it would work with inflite bars and stem. Shitty geo chart.

Sweet baby Jesus...is that the new name for gravel? gravé?
