    1. I never understood the reason for the existence of a gravel bike? Like what does this do at all? It’s like a retard baby being stuck in what to be. No suspension, then ability to go to dirt tracks. Skinny tires in trail? Like WTH

    2. I dont see the point. Gravel Bikes neither are as good as road bikes nor as trail or mountain bikes… just buy either of the two and be fine.

    3. Yeah but where’s the fun in that?!

      Right now I’m at on odd sweet spot: road for speed, gravel for adventure, and MTB for singletrack. Every base covered (except commuting, which I do on a motorcycle).

    4. If there is a droper post and space for 29×2.3 tyres… yeah pretty much it can do it all. Maybe a short travel fork, but then it's just a nerfed MTB.

    5. Nope, I will need 2.

      I have a tt bike for long distance triatlons.
      And 1 for the shorter distances were a tt bike is illegal.

    6. cyclocross Bike is the one for me, it can do everything, maybe not so fast and not so comfortable but i can ride anywhere and i can ride a long distance and its pretty fast.

    7. I love my speedy TCR and versatile cross bike and use them out. No thanks for such an ambiguous gravel biplane needing a lot of self-build tools and chemicals.
