Anyone own the above or a limba. Been thinking about a gravel bike for a while, live on Suffolk Norfolk boarder and plenty of flat gravel/fire roads on my doorstep. Don't want to spend a huge amount, Halfords have the nakisi at 650 and can get 10 percent off with British cycling. Only difference I can see with it and the cheaper limba is better forks and drivetrain. Is it worth spending slightly more on it?
Another member of this parish got a 2nd hand limba. Hated the brakes...they were non-existant; and subsequently swapped drops for flat bar and associated brakes/shifters. I think the last time we discussed it he felt it was heavy and uncomfortable. Make of that what you will. Might be better off trying the 2nd hand route and hopefully picking up something nicer. Older spec Diverges, for example, are better spec and much nicer to ride if you can find one. Lots of others to try and no doubt lots of other ideas to follow too from the STW hive-mind
I've got a medium Limba clogging up my garage - you can have it seriously cheaply!
What have you got in the "spares box?"
Enough to get a £299 https://www.merlincycles.com/merlin-malt-g2x-gravel-frameset-197832.html on the offroad with at least SS for now until you spot bargain components?
Maybe with a pair of ~£350 https://www.merlincycles.com/shimano-tiagra-st-4720-hydraulic-disc-sti-levers-r4770-flat-mount-disc-brake-set-10-speed-247267.html ?
