Headed to a Hup united new england team gravel ride this morning. A little bit nervous.

Love seeing these bikes.

My unfancy rig

Nice Poprad, is that the Reynolds 853 tubeset version? I have that same Mavic Open Pro / Ultegra wheelset (currently on my road bike); love them from cyclocross/ gravel to road - they are great do everything wheels. fairly light for 32h, strong, and great rebuild-able hubs.

I traded parts for the frame and fork and had the rest of the parts leftover when I sold my Cross Check to a fellow Paceliner. Sweet old English lugged steel Condor with an IF fork.

Thanks! I believe it's 853 "select", which I understand is 853 main tubes, 525(?) stays. Whatever the case, I love the way it rides.

So many well considered bicycles in this thread, but this one really is calling my name.

Checks all of the boxes, yet the "look" is the ultimate grabber for me.

Just add dirt!

MrDangerPants has rocking the fat tire drop bar bikes long before it was cool to do so.

My favorite of his

I agree the if you are going to go really fat (over 40c) it is best to use a 29er MTB geometry frame, even with a rigid front fork. That way you can do downhill single track safely. A cyclocross frame will never be a downhill MTB regardless of whether 2.4" tires will fit. I like the titanium Salsa Fargo.

Again, thanks for all the kind words.

I had this beast before the IF that I actually used for the D2R2:



That lovely Ted Wojcik is now a single speed.

Where'd you get those snazzy rear dropouts?

[Gummee]

Back when, this made me go hmmmm:


I considered putting drop bars on my F2000 frame to race cross on it, but quickly realized that there were better options out there.

I'm getting back to my roots too. Going bombing down dirt roads in search of adventure (in my case it was looking for fish) and having a grand ole time.
