Order my Arkose and now a 10 day wait!!!

Trying to buy new, want it quickly. He's signed up this strava 300 in September and I hope he gets the bug.

B'twin? it may not have that big a clearance but it's cheap and ready to run.

Someone should have a nibble at this - https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/2625562/

Know this guy, has been trying to sell for a while locally with not a lot of luck. Knows what he's doing and has been doing a lot for the south Wales 'gravel scene' if that's a thing...

Got some 700 x 40c Vittoria Terreno Dry for sale

It's a lovely bike, I'd be on the phone to the bank if it had internal routing and Di2 stops.

thats quite ßås∫ç .. what happened to your taste?

it wouldn't be basic the way I'd build it buddy

Are you on the Tuesday rides?

Rumbled...I went on the inagural ride maybe 2ish years ago and then had a kid...so can't do Tuesdays anymore. A friend still makes it sometimes I think.

Ah right, wondered if I'd met you 'IRL'. Can vouch for Nic, he's a reputable mechanic so that bike should be in top condition

Ah, i mean its possible - but yeah haven't made it on Tuesdays for a long time sadly! Have ridden a few audaxes/grtifest wtih Nic though

Apologies for the NDS photo, had to take this through some railings near Kings Cross. With a carbon fork I'd go as far as saying I like the Midnight Special.

What was the verdict on the Ribble CGR 725? Seemed to have been marred with delivery nightmares. Is it a good frame? Good value?

I love mine with the stock anchor fork. But would probably love it even more with a carbon fork.

Went to see their range in person down in Bluewater. They're surprisingly well thought out bikes. Everything is much higher quality than you'd expect.
Also had a chat with someone on it and he says it's a lively and fun bike, which he didn't expect.

A friend has one, & was beset by all the build/delivery nightmares. However, it does say that it was worth the wait - he loves his.

That looks lovely... still tempted by one actually.

Different note - retrap saddle bags - decent or not?

you know that fork costs as much as the frame?

Yeah yeah... hence not buying one just yet.
Restrap, talk to me...

Restrap, talk to me...

nice troll

revelate, next question

Oh for god sake, they are even more expensive than Ortlieb... you're ruining my retirement.

buy a genesis, use the leftover money to buy quality bags

I mayyyyyy have bought something on an impulse thats slightly not that practical but I liked it.

It's a Fyxation thou...
