I joined the gravel/adventure/ all-road/ endu-road revolution/evolution today. Bought myself a GT Grade.
Couldn't bring myself to live with a pure road bike, but the Grade looks to be reasonably suited to the road with the option to go off-road too.
I'd been looking at gravel/CX bikes.
Show me yours and I'll show you mines
Today's tip : Don't use "Frame Saver" indoors ................................. man
Couldn't wait any longer for better weather so I was out on the new Genesis. Its all dirty now
Hey Jimo
I haven't seen the grade but will look it up, its a GT so would imagine its pretty bullet proof.
I was down on Loch Lomond this week and called into Dales in Glasgow and had a look at the Specialized gravel/adventure machine. Looked pretty good and the base model was pretty reasonably priced as well. They had one kitted out with apidura bags and one kitted out with Specialized own bags, fork, seat handlebar and frame bags. Looked like the usual good quality kit.
Look forward to seeing yours Rob.
