that is nonsense. the things get ridden over giant fucking paving stones at roubaix and flanders, and the tests they put those frames through should ensure that you can ride them on a basically endless array of poor surfaces without failure.

I don’t think anyone rides a track bike at Paris Roubaix

no but he mentioned commuting on a road bike as life reducing. which might only be true because of increased risk of being hit by a car or someone whacking your bike whilst it is locked up

If you read back (and know the history), I can assure you he was talking about a Canyon track bike.

Nick Hussey is a fan of the handlebars apparently.

They come with shifter mounts on them:

Bastion of taste and sensibility.

Who would trust his opinion?

The best thing about it is the "Do not lean on here" safety sticker

If my memory serves me correctly, Matt Chester, titanium craftsman, and one builder who was making 'gravel' bikes at least a decade before anyone coined the term had a 'journeyman' model in his small range of frames.

He was also doing the long headtube, wide drop bar thing long before most people.
