Gravel bikes - what do you have and where did you buy it?

[Patchelicious]

I just love the fact that I've finally found a use for the surf clothes I refuse to wear as a surfer

 

I'm looking forward to taking up the next fad in my toight Assos kit and bright pink bicycling shirts

Have you also started strapping your plakkies to the outside of your seatpack, next to the tin coffee cup?

That looks so awesome!

 

Quite a bit of lycra and hardly any beards, they clearly aren't very serious groadies...

Genius....if only I could pull of decent facial hair now. I could drink coffee and stroke my beard whilst pondering the meaning of it all

I assume you are vigilant about checking how the beans are sourced?

No no, this is not the way of the ethical gravel bike hipster. They (we, possibly) listen to bands you haven't heard of yet. In some cases they like bands that don't even exist yet.

Pfft rookie. True groaders eat beans and make their own Kopi Luwak! "I drink my own ****"

I like the canister bag, if I get one do I have to grow a beard and drink coffee?

Bucket list.....the video is quite long but watch it for some spectacular vistas of rural USA....

Google Ratio - buy it off their site

Maybe I'm not caffeine up enough yet. But typing "ratio" into my Google doesn't give me a bike shop. Adding other keywords sends me down silly places

Is this considered "cheap"

For cheap awesome flare bars look at the Spank Vibrocore bars...

And if you are running Sram 1 x 11 shifters on your gravel rig consider the Ratio upgrade kit which converts them to 1 x 12... for R1200 it is a great upgrade. Mine just landed so will update you.

 

What are you planning on pairing this with?
