Gravel Bikes - Should we stop and tell the industry now?

[sirmoun10goat]

If I put road handle bars on my Epic Sworks, wouldn't it be sort of the same thing?

Only difference is the gravel grinder is 2xwhatever, and doesnt have a wide range cassette...which is exactly where the MTB was a few years back

 

Guess its true, history repeats itself

Next they will take out all the jumps and drops on MTB races to cater for the roadies.

Thats already done. Most of the epic was just gravel grinding

Around Jozi gravel bike is great for road riding as road conditions are quite bad. Oh and spruit of course.

Am I a brand snob or drop bar snob, not sure of myself with such conflicting sentiments in a thread.

As long as this makes a Santa Cruz cyclo cross or niner cheaper, I am all for it. 

 

I think I just have an aversion to broomsticks for handlebars.

If a 2 year old can nail wall rides, pump tracks and drop off with drop bars, don't see the need the rest of us to use broomsticks [emoji12]

Basically what I see when someone rocks up on  a MTB in the start chute at the Argus.

Saw a guy yesterday with a BH epicenduralgroad bike yesterday with a suspension fork. While it's not for me I do like them.

 

FAT BIKES HOWEVER......... I'd rather have chlamydia.
