Gravel Bikes
-
I’ve got to the point where I no longer bother with a jersey or bibs. I just wear some Patagonia baggies and whatever shirt I want. Weather it’s a cropped T, long sleeve, sweatshirt etc… I have bags on all my bikes to carry anything I’ll need. So the loss of a couple back pockets is fine… plus, even on a long road ride being comfortable and having some clothes flap in the wind a little is just as fast as wearing Lycra and looking like an idiot… all my roadie friends wear Lycra and ride super expensive carbon bikes and I’m just as fast as them in my baggies on my steel frame.
In the end, it’s personal preference… just do what’s comfortable for you -
@T-J That looks like a light, fun bike. Congrats on joining the gravel gang!

I picked up this All City Gorilla Monsoon back in 2019, then during Covid for whatever reason I stopped riding...well I recently was inspired to get this beauty back on the road. I've converted it from drop bars to flat bars and put some hydraulic brakes on it as well - fun project - I'm stoked to have this back on the road again. (photos are from the day I bought it to today when the build wrapped up).

@Inorganic looks like a fun bike. Love the VW!

@Denimhead-0 ah yes, my beloved '86 syncro westfalia - many a memory made in that beast.

@Inorganic stunning colors on that bike!!

Can any Germans here recommend a good platform for selling a gravel bike? Is (Ebay)Kleinanzeigen the only way?
If got a Salsa Rohloff Fargo that I'd like to sell.

Yes! I also run one on the rear when bikepacking… they are the best bags out there in my opinion

Hey, do you guys know if these are sanforized or unsanforized? Not sure if I should soak first. https://ostroy.com/collections/denim
