Show me your gravelbikes....inspire me.

It is first on the list. If there's a story/rationale for the build, would love to hear it.

Geoff...(currently on the trainer, watching the snowfall)

I just ride my CX bike(s)

Don't see a 'need' for a dedicated gravel road bike. ...but that's me.

Pink Goodrich

Although any road bike with 28c tires can work on gravel, here is my favorite for the really rough wilderness rides.

Think about a thread, if you have some time.

And a bunch of other very cool stuff as well;
racks and toe clips come to mind. And a GREAT set of tires!!!

Oh yea; BTW; I really enjoyed you talking to me and showing me the finer points of your bike. For all that thought Bruce was mean, I got news for you, he's a super nice guy!!! As well as a very fine craftsman

Thanks Vincent...the 29er and 650b options are really appealing with regard to what I have in mind.

Well Geoff;

You have seen the model of the one I'm having made;
It was the first bike in the door @ the hand built show.

I tried to buy it from Dave Wages, but he said no...grrr....
So I ordered one.

So nice! I'm jealous. Can I justify another gravel road bike? Probably not.
