  1. I never understood the reason for the existence of a gravel bike? Like what does this do at all? Itโ€™s like a retard baby being stuck in what to be. No suspension, then ability to go to dirt tracks. Skinny tires in trail? Like WTH

  2. I dont see the point. Gravel Bikes neither are as good as road bikes nor as trail or mountain bikesโ€ฆ just buy either of the two and be fine.

  3. Yeah but whereโ€™s the fun in that?!

    Right now Iโ€™m at on odd sweet spot: road for speed, gravel for adventure, and MTB for singletrack. Every base covered (except commuting, which I do on a motorcycle).

  4. If there is a droper post and space for 29×2.3 tyres… yeah pretty much it can do it all. Maybe a short travel fork, but then it's just a nerfed MTB.

  5. Nope, I will need 2.

    I have a tt bike for long distance triatlons.
    And 1 for the shorter distances were a tt bike is illegal.

  6. cyclocross Bike is the one for me, it can do everything, maybe not so fast and not so comfortable but i can ride anywhere and i can ride a long distance and its pretty fast.

  7. I love my speedy TCR and versatile cross bike and use them out. No thanks for such an ambiguous gravel biplane needing a lot of self-build tools and chemicals.
