At what point should you put your gravel bike back in the garage and just use your mountain bike?

Dear Bike builder, I know I said I liked my chainstays, long, but could you make them a bit longer please?

Merits of going too far into MTB territory to one side for a moment. This looks so cool! Love the teal-black colour scheme.

Ek dink my bergfiets kan dalk n bietjie stof vergader. Ek is mal oor dit.

Lekker Man! Lyk befok

Man, i am currently eyeing a stigmata. I am a mountain biker at heart. Always have been! Yet i do enjoy the odd road race (like argus - on a borrowed road bike every year). But i just cant get myself to buy a dedicated road bike. A cross bike i will ride more than just the odd road race since i can klap some gravel roads with the odd gravel race thrown in. I have seen builds coming in at 7.3kg! Crazy. Mine will prob be closer to 8kg but i am sure i will still manage to klap a sub 3 come argus time? (given correct gearing and tyre choice). What do you gravel donkeys think?

Dito! I sold my Giant TCX to buy a "real road bike" and a "real mountain bike (scott spark 930)". I love the road bike, but the mountain bike feels like a truck compared to riding the TCX on gravel or flat fast single track.

got my Silverback Siablo CX bike this week having a blast on this machine! It's so so so much fun and perfect for the forestry roads here in Knysna, tomorrow I'm hitting the 7 passes to give it a full baptism of gravel...

I would consider adding two links onto the chain?

Finally getting a gravel frame. Thanks Peds, taking his Fuji frame off his hands. It May be another month or 2 until it is ready to roll as I must still source some wheels and shifters. Budget spent for this month.
