...and then I made the mistake of walking in to Cycle Lab yesterday and I saw this.. everything I want, but more than I want to spend... decisions decisions...

..so it's 2x10 GRX or 1x11 LTwoo in my budget.. talk to me, I'm a decade out of this

The last bicycle I owned had Campy Chorus, so I was a bit of a snob, that's why I am asking about the LTwoo

The website says it's 11 speed LTwoo? Don't know it at all.. Single blade up front..

Let me jump in here. Also in the market for a gravel bike (probably seriously in January though, due to recovery from surgery). Need something strong, after a 10 year hiatus from cycling and 3 years of CrossFit I'm over 130kg's with a good amount of upper body strength now. What are the opinions on the Avalanche Roam? It's for weekend riding mostly, in the week I ruck and make myself cry with a kettlebell and a sandbag.

It is life.. "Death Finds All Men".. anyhoo, will be shopping for a gravel bike in January, but on a budget, I already have another expensive sport. Been speaking to Francois from Manic Cycles in Worcester, let's see what the future brings..

Life's been kind of **** the last few years.. (late) wife battled three different cancers, covid twice (as in ICU covid), and eventually last year she passed away from pneumonia. Haven't cycled in 5+ years, gave all my bikes to a development club.. but then recently something happened that I didn't expect, so might take up riding two wheels again for fun..

Probably time I stop lurking after 10year sabbatical from Hub.. even had coffee with Carel Smith from TCS the other evening.. we reminisced about being the first two moderators here after Matt got gatvol of doing everything alone.. Time flies..

Urgh, crappy weather and a warm bed...I'm staying indoors

droo: Are you guys going to snobs or can the rest of us just use the 'Morewood' convention as a gathering point?

ChrisH, lets hope next weekend has better weather

Judging by the 80% chance of rain+heavy wind, you are going to have a fairly empty kitchen tomorrow

Bah! it will be a 9am ride slow and easy and having fun on the singletrack and stuff...

So...1Tonner has been postponed, so the idea came up. What about Tokai, 9am on Sunday? Gives those who have weary AMArider legs a bit more of a snooze. It may rain buckets, then we'll call it off. For now I just want an idea of how many people might be interested in this?
