Show me your gravelbikes....inspire me.

I took the bait and headed south from Pt Reyes as it was sunny.
Dry all the way down to Bofax- then cold rain and hail/snow showers on Bofax.
Good times.

Thanks CJL, bending fender stays is not that hard, they're so soft, I used my hands, hammer, pliers etc, against a chair with a curve back, you can use just about anything you can find around the house with a gentle curve.
Mine turned out ok, as long as you don't look too close.
The bike can use a new coat of paint, it probably goes back to Jeff sometime
this summer.


[QUOTE=ColonelJLloyd;2132093]coelecant, that grey/orange Lyon is such a great bike. If you're the one who bent that front fender stay then kudos, my friend. That's well done.

This is a No. 22 Broken Arrow CX bike, currently set up for ride-everywhere duty. It's a rocket - I put up a quick description in the No. 22 thread.

The No. 22 people do have a gravel bike called the Drifter, if you want the slightly longer CS and ever-so-slightly steeper HT. Mine has a lower-than-stock BB, so about the same as a Drifter.

My rides are nothing like those above... wish we had views like that with beautiful dirt...

Here's my updated ride. Fit some 44 Snoqualmie Pass tires on the warbird! Such a fun ride on the crappy spring roads around here...

^^I see Campy. What disc brakes have you selected that play well with your Campy levers?

Using TRP Spyres with compressionless housing. Found upgrading rotors to 160/160 and Shimano XTs made a huge difference. Using standard pads at the moment planning to swap for some Swiss stops when these are worn...

Brakes fine once I got them dialed in. Not as good as my MTB bike with hydros but on par with rim brakes in dry and much better than rim brakes in any other condition (wet, muddy, dusty)...

The cranks, saddle, and new ano color are the only bits I find appealing...

My Flyover in summer groad mode. The Challenge 33c tires are great.

Setup the way it is, I doubt it. If you want your tops in a standard road position, just run Cowbells or Cowchippers. Woodchippers are meant to be run with the drops as primary position and I have never gotten good feedback from anybody who has run them as pictured above.
