Have you actually created a low pro gravel bike?

Lol, no - I'd not noticed that oddness in the perspective before I posted it. I'm sure you've given a marketing department somewhere an idea now though!

Having quickly read all 17 pages, I've now got it.....

Gravel bike = 1990s Raleigh pioneer with left over drop bars on.

Cool. Think i might need one.

Or could i just fit drops to my hybrid? Thats got knobbly 40mm tyres, is crappy aluminium and 700c wheels....

Or even better, pretend i had drops, then took them off in favour of something more useful.

You could also pretend you fitted a couple of extra chainrings for better chainline and economy, and took off the discs because they didn't stop squealing

No i just like manageable gaps between gears.....rather than those new fangled 11, 23, 24, 32, 41.5, 60, 104 cassettes you now get that weight more than the shifter and mech they replaced and are about the size of the rear wheel!

I think that was Tom's point.

My latest bike, modern as it is. A Fuji Jari 2.1 gravel bike. Nice smooth ride. Love the low pressure big tyres.
