We moved to Middelburg, MP in April.  And in typical Transvaal initiation, my Cannondale SuperSix was stolen. And in typical insurance fashion I was suddenly underinsured, so only got half of what my Dale's replacement value is.... But.... I got this beauty from a fellow Hubber.  I've been looking at gravel bikes for a while.  I don't like the idea of getting hit by Coal trucks.   So, I took the chance.  And what a joy this beast is.  The bike's only weakness is the 40-year old pistons driving it.
 

Today was its first proper gravel test.  Loved it.  100% sold on gravel bikes.

Please do tell, what was the issues ... 

I seriously considered doing this but it just didn't work out.

Originally planned a dirt/trail ride but my mountain bike's BB sounding like a rock crusher put pause to that. I had figured out a road route a few months ago I wanted to try, but in designing said route didn't consider doing it on a SS.

Getting up and over Sylvia's Pass with 42x16 took pretty much every Newton meter I could muster to not have to engage 3rd gear (walking). Absolutely loved it though. I've been loving riding Hellfire, even in group rides. The Rook Scout is a crazy fun bike, and running it single speed just adds even more character to it. So much fun!
