Nice! Looks great, it's such a lush colour. I am guessing you added the chainring? Had a great (and longest) ride on mine this morning and love it more. Just need to change the saddle to a Romin

Why not? It's a classy ride. Also delivered the day after the build date they said when I ordered it and seriously well put together by their mechanics. And it has a very sexy bum, lovely curved seat and chain stays.

Also I really want to big up the On-One Rujo. I got this for £1250 but I hace seen Planet X doing one day deals for £999. I LOVE the colour. Well specced, great geometry, immediately confident ride. The kind of bike you climb off and can't wait until you can climb back on. Love it

I rode a Look style clipless system for a while never really got on with it and fixed I ride flats and straps or vintage clips. But want to try clip less again such a dinosaur I am. So the easiest to get used to

Anyone else got a Rujo? Loving mine so far, very fast curing my knee pain. Just have to decide whether to go Shimano M520 or Time Atacs

I need better tyres

The 198os Bat dialled in now compact nittos

You can ride literally any bike on gravel

Very true, however I am more looking for a geared bike with plush tyres than specifically something for gravel. A bike that I can chuck about a bit. The only geared bike I have at the moment is a road bike.

I have a mate that works at temtple, have seen the Adventure Disc close up, it is a good frame and well specced.

I do like the look of the Marin, and it is so cheap, but you know you will be swapping parts out left right and centre.

this is on offer

Found this Straggler on ebay, its in Glasgow and he won't post but I have contqacted him and he can get it to0 Newbury as he works there some time. need some aesthetic tweaks but the parts look great.

There is a Kepler on ebay but well used and seller is asking £1400 for it so a bit much.

Is there we come for gravel bike advice? Want steel so am looking at marin Nicasio as a budget option, On One Rujo which looks very well specced for the price, Temple Adventure Disc in yellow or a Surly Straggler is Chlorine Dream if I can find one in my size, as pair with my Steamroller. Opinions welcome.

What is this? Want

Cheers. The dent is very slight tbf. More of a ding

Well this is disappointing, not even a view. I am getting the vibe this isn't the place to sell track frames anymore?

Price drop £280

Taken a long time to come to this decision as I had a lot of fun riding this. For most of that it was a ratty black but I had it powder-coated a rather spiffing orange with an eye on a HHSB build, buying a load of bits (pictured, which will also be for sale in another thread once I have worked out prices) but could never get decals I wanted or the rims so it stalled. Then covid came along and I wasn't riding as much, and a dodgy left knee means I want something geared.

It is pretty unique, mainly welded but a lugged seat cluster, and a lovely teardrop down tube.

Seat tube is 58.5cm, top tube 54.5. The frame is completely unmarked, I have fitted nothing to it.

£300, will post.

Interested, would need it posted though

After trying to use the Steamroller for some bikepacking my knees have gone on strike and demanded I get a geared bike for the rough stuff.

So I am looking for a gravel bike, either complete or frame and forks if there is anything out there.

Requirements:
Steel
59-61cm
Ideally 650b with fat 40mm plus tyres
Gears (I mentioned those right)

My preference would be a Surly Straggler so I have a matching pair. I also like the Temple Adventure Disc, looking into options for both of these potentially from new. I actaully have a Straggler fork I bought for the Steamroller but never fitted so if there is a lonely Straggler frame out there let me know.

Quick Q about the Straggler: the sizes for 700c run up to 62cm, but the 650b goes to 52cm, not sure how that computes? I have 650bs on my Steamroller which was originally 700c and 60cm size.

Thanks for looking

Enjoyed LBL, shame Pidcock didn't make it to the start line. The new parcours seems to make for more interesting riding, although Ineos looked a bit daft doing all the huffing and puffing then having no one with the legs to follow the decisive move. Would love to see Kwiato back to his best.

Ended up getting the small Restrap framebag, bigger than the handlebar bag and since its on a gravel bike less likely to bounce around.

For me or the answer to my question about mountainbikers?

MTB shorts do seem to have 57 pockets each of course.

This is the way. Thinking Restrap handlebar bag atm.

I think it would work, not too baggy though. I mean I ride with my jersey unzipped and stuff in the pockets. I am mainly looking for somewhere safe to keep the phone and neother shorts have deep enough rear pockets. The Victory Chimps have a zipped in the front pocket, but that means keeping your phone in your front pocket. That's a no.

best design are some Evans house-brand shorts they discontinued, and they have two zipped pockets that go backwards from the side seem. Someone needs to rip that design off, its perfect.

Just got these from Sigr: https://sigr.cc/collections/mens-cycling-chino-shorts

Very nice kit, was a choice between and a more expensive Chrome pair but no regrets. I also have the Victory Chimp gravel shorts bought recently and been riding on those, good kit too and very lightweight, great for the two days of summer coming up (so far been wearing 3/4 tights underneath. They size up a touch small.

Anyone got a recommendation for a non-jersey jersey? As in not race fit, more MTB style but with pockets and technical material? Doesn't seem to be anything out there. Where do MTB riders keep their gubbins?

Digging this up as needing some advice. Got some spare cash so feel like throwing it the Razesa as I have done didly squat with it for the last year trying to climb the walls during the pandemic.

So am gonna order a disc fork for it like I did for the Surly. I have a load of parts for it already, like Campag Pista cranks and Pista rear hub, and Dura Ace headset. Its the wheelset that is causing me a headache: have the rear hub so I need a front hub, disc compatible. I know I am not going to find anything similar to the Campy, so any suggestions? Silver, was thinking Chris King maybe? Ideally I want bolts rather than qr but that may be asking too much.

Have found a pair of Campagnolo Omega Strada Hardox NOS aero rims on ebay for reasonable folding but they are tubular. I have never used tubular but thinking I should just go for it as its hard to find the rims in good condition with the right spoke count and learn my way around tubular?

Also need to resume the hunt for decals, there was someone on here from Poland offering custom decals but they stopped answering my dms, any suggestions?

Ta muchly in advance

Retrospectively Sunweb fucked it not making Hindley help Kelderman on the Stevio. He may have helped limit his losses more and give him a chance in the TT. That said Hindley was in a podium spot.

But by trying both hands they let Tao sneak in and stealth it, with Dennis as the Hulk smashing everyone.

Best GT for a decade imo, and working from home meant I could watch all of it.
