Ride Ibiza? Is that what Club 18-30 are calling themselves these days?

With a name like "Clubby" I suppose a trip to Ibiza was inevitable really...

Just pushed the button on one of these

Been looking at these for a while to replace my road bike and hard tail to free up a bit of space. I tend to ride from the house these days rather than driving somewhere with the full susser so figured this would allow me to be able to link in some off-road trails/canal paths with the road sections for a bit of variety.

Re:

Nice one Col I'm building one using a Cotic frame

 

[clubby]

Oooh, that's a nice looking bike.

Re:

Always fancied trying a cyclo crosser but this is just a bit more flexible and for the spec. the price is pretty good I thought. Only problem is now I need to see about selling the road bike and hardtail (they can live in the spare room for a while though :facepalm: ).

Is your Cotic frame a specific "gravel bike" or mtb?

Oooh, that's a nice looking bike.

It's got 29" wheels too
I've gone for the white/celeste version rather than the dark blue, they both look pretty good though.

Good choice Col
I was showing Heather those the other night, I really like the carbon XLS but this is way cheaper and like you say, it's far more flexible. Lots more mounting points and can take slightly wider tyres, what's not to like?
I don't really need another bike, maybe .....
I prefer the blue one though.
Look forward to hearing your impressions once together.
