Show us your Gravel Bikes

Got four pairs of wheels for mine: fast road, winter road, 700c off-road and 650b off-road. Haven't ridden my mountain bike for nearly a year. It's the perfect bike for where I live - lots of country lanes, downland bridleways and farm tracks.
Still struggling to not call it a cross bike.

I'm surprised there isn't a dedicated gravel sub forum.

There are quite a few drop bar mtb conversions, re-born hybrids, and modern gravel bikes around and abouts on RB with threads in the various sections. Maybe be time to start a general sub forum that all of those bikes could go into. Could be somewhere for CX bikes, too.

Yes, I picked up an old battered Surly Straggler frame and am currently knocking it into shape. Unfortunately a size too small for me at 56 rather than the 58 I need but just doing it for the fun and to see what these Surly things are about. I have to say they are a bit different.

That full sus gravel bike shows exactly the same thinking and path as MTBs. The usual rush to extreme specialisation and away from versatility.

And so the cycle renews itself.
