KTM

Cannae wait.
Boys have an uplift booked soon so a shake down ride over Gypsy Glen is in order methinks

Those bars are coming off for a less flared set.
Bit too much for me.

I saw that.
Isn’t it beautiful?
I’ve seen one gravelled, it was stunning.
The bike is at Fli just now , built then posted for next week. The Klien is theirs.

That's a nice looking ride, apart from...

What's with the hard angle at the top of the seat stays? Is it a flex part?

I think so.
Tbh it’s one of the things I liked about the bike when I saw it at the cycling festival at Peebles a few weeks ago.
The whole frame and forks looks ace to me.
Wasn’t intending to go 27.5 but just thought it looked so good set up like that.
Literally itching to get it

KTM GravelMeister

Or it could be the KTM MotherFunker. They're very similar frames

Built and ready to rock.

Love it.

Ooer

I quite like the idea of a bento box on the seat tube as well

Very nice.

My preference would be tools etc. in a wee tool bottle on the seat-tube (lower centre of gravity, no seatpack velcro to potentially ruin your shorts) and a top tube bento box for optimum snacking. WeeCog make some nice ones in a colour combo of your choice.
