There is no one perfect bike for this requirement spec.

 

a hardtail with two wheelsets is your best compromise.

Au contraire monsieur! If you're willing to part with a LOT of money this fine instrument covers the requirements perfectly. One day, when I'm big, one of these shall be mine (this specific one just needs a dropper, other than that, it's pure perfection).

A proper gravel bike like a Spez diverge with futureshock is a good option ,but my hardtail is my go to for everything these days

Hi Everyone,

I am in the market for a replacement bicycle after some @#£@ decided to borrow mine, permanently....and without my knowledge...

 

I need some advice on what to buy.

 over the last few years I really fell in love with cycling long gravel roads and hoping to do more 100 mailers in the future. So from that point of view I am tempted to buy a gravel bike. Then again I don't want to give up the option to go ride proper MTB trails with friends and budget does not allow to get two bikes.

 

Do any of you have some recommendations on what to buy?

 

 

 

Hi not sure where you live in GP or what size bike you ride.

Happy to ride with you in the Cradle I have a spare Momsen (not for Sale) maybe it will help make up your mind

Not an expert on this but surely if you still want the option to still ride on trails then a gravel bike isn't an option? At least not an option that will actually be fun on trails?
