Given the state of the roads around here, they make much more sense than a pure road bike. Mind you the way the roads are declining a full susser might be more appropriate in the long run.

Lol, from the person who spends his time trolling bike forums about niche subsections of it.

You must be a riot at parties.

Benefits must be pretty lucrative given some of the bikes tom has managed to acquire judging by some of his previous postings..

Out of interest what is it you do..that's clearly not the inside of a commercial air craft, and it looks pretty old school?

[stwstereotype] I sell IT [/stwstereotype]

Yeah, Vulcan cockpit simulator, not me flying, got my dad an experience package. Was pretty good, harder than it looks he said. After he’d killed us for the third time...

I've been having dirty thoughs of selling my freshly built Ibis DV9 for a gravel bike today!

I think I've come to my senses though. I'll just do Dirty Reiver on that 🙂
