Although it may look like a river this is actually November's finest UK gravel.

Pretty happy with the current setup of my Curve GXR, shame about the trails :(

Really appreciate the in-depth reply, as always! I'll look into the DIY process but in general, I'm not overly confident when it comes to this sort of thing, feel like if it can go wrong, it will for me!

I thought a full strip down would be the case, no problem!

The frame is a Curve GXR and the areas I want anodising are already a sandblasted finish, assuming I've understood that correctly.

I'll look up the two mentioned companies, thanks again for your help.

Not strictly a paint question (anodising) but would a bike need to be fully stripped if you were just having 'spot' anodising done? Would the process of spot anodising logos be similar to paint where a negative/positive mask is applied to the area?

Any recommendations for anodising Ti frames in the UK, preferably near London?

I briefly owned this pink beauty, it got me through a brutally muddy Rapha 'A Day in Hell' ride a couple of years back! GLWS!

I think he's going down the gravel bike route instead now and will keep the hardtail how it's meant to be!

Thanks all for reining this one in!

interesting bit of kit, videos make it look relatively easy too...

Also confirmed my worries! I wasn't sure if there was some kind of work around, gravel bike it is.

this was my worry, end up needing pretty much a complete new groupset.

Asking for a friend. How simple/cost-effective would it be to change a Trek X Caliber 8 (12 speed Sram) into a drop bar hardtail?

My original thought you'd just need some bars, new shifters and probably a new shorter stem but will it work with the current setup?

Does Badlands have a rider limit and if so is it likely to 'sell out' on Sunday's registration release?

This will be my first race of this kind, hence the novice question...

Love my Spank Wing bars in 46cm, really compact drop and a not too rowdy 12-degree flare. Filled with their 'Vibrocore' foam which pretty much makes them feel like a carbon bar without the cost. Currently only £45 on wiggle too

+1 for Mezcal

Great choice I love mine, it's the most versitile bike I've owned. I've got the titanium GXR and it's currently weighing in at 10.2kg, albeit with Rival and mid-weight wheels. I'd be happy if I got it down to sub 9kg!

Looking forward to see the complete build!

what a beaut!! Sadly way too big for me, glws.

Do these have a removable spider? I am looking to run the cranks with a direct mount Absolute Black chainring...

Compatibility is not one of my strengths!

After the above in either 170mm or 172.5mm, doesn't have to include a chainring.

Thanks!

rear mech turned up in the post today so I'm sorted for that but thanks!

Just need shifters!

Anyone got any 11speed shifters, Athena or Chorus preffered but will consider any!

DO NOT go to the New Forest if you're looking for gravel...

Did anyone else find any bits they're looking to shift?

Need it all except the crankset, what have you got in your parts bin?

Will consider non-matching but compatible 11 spd Campag bits but Athena is prefered!

Thanks!

They did have #logpiles though...

#Gravel was a no show on the Isle of Purbeck...

Stunning bike! Struggled to sell my Cipo on here recently but hope you have more luck!
