sirmoun10goat Posted March 27, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/167230-gravel-bikes-should-we-stop-and-tell-the-industry-now/page/2/#findComment-3096347 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Gordo Posted March 27, 2017 Share Next they will take out all the jumps and drops on MTB races to cater for the roadies. Thats already done.

jcza Posted March 27, 2017 Share Around Jozi gravel bike is great for road riding as road conditions are quite bad. Oh and spruit of course.

carbon29er Posted March 27, 2017 Share How could a guy who clearly has taste then post this? If I put road handle bars on my Epic Sworks, wouldn't it be sort of the same thing? Am I a brand snob or drop bar snob, not sure of myself with such conflicting sentiments in a thread. fanievb, Patchelicious, Danger Dassie and 2 others 5 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/167230-gravel-bikes-should-we-stop-and-tell-the-industry-now/page/2/#findComment-3096384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted March 27, 2017 Share 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.
