Here is my bike, all finished and raring to go. Maiden voyage planned for the ride home from work. Cannot wait. Many thanks to ryanpmb for the frame and bits. Will give feedback soon. Will be changing to black soon.

Nice one Stefano! Looks great. Give us a ride report of sorts when you can.

What would one of those babies set you back?

RRP is around approx. R23000 for the frameset. We're waiting pricing on this from Planet X and will post as soon as we have.

 

In the meantime, some more pics... in Anthracite and Seville Orange.

Hey

so after thinking about it for more than 2 seconds I  decided I am going to do the 947 on my Ritchey but I would need to put slicks on, so the Q is, which slicks would you guys recommend?

Morning Look,

 

Absolutely no idea, but don't think very light. could probably save weight on new wheels but i wanted robust and duurable. Will see if i can weigh it this weekend.

To be honest, I am more interested in how the bike rides????????

I am using Conti GP4000 27c x 28 tyres (with tubes) on my Ritchey when I ride on the road. Works brilliantly.

Hey.

I have just seen this thread and read all the guys getting a buzz off Gravel grinding...great to see.

I have done a fair bit, infact alot i guess. I crossed Africa (cairo to Capetown) on a Cinelli Bootleg CycloX, and i currently have an Avanti cycloX bike that i have crossed South East Asia, China, Australia and Europe on.... they amazing! any road,any speed.

( i did try Oak Valley 24hr race,but withdrew after 13 hours of solid riding and raw hands! - shocks may have helped) :whistling:

My brother works for the same company, he had Local Legend Frame Builder Dave Mercer build him a Gravel Grinder for the Trips.  Steel is Real!

 

Thought I'd add a few pictures just for the hell of it.... maybe it will inspire some of you?!

I work for a company that crosses Continents by bicycle, fully supported. Once a year on the trip through Africa, they pass through Namibia and through the Cederberg just before reaching 'home' in CapeTown. - for any gravel grinder, its the best off road road racing you can dream of! Fast Gravel Roads of Namibia is an adrelanine rush all day on these bikes!!!

cheers..happy sweating and suffering.
