Been pondering a change in the stable for some time, so I’ve moved from a CX racer build to a more comfortable gravel build.
It’s a bit marmite I admit, but I flippin love marmite so I’m dead chuffed.

Makes your hands bleed?!
Where are the bilberries?
TO be fair it looks bloody hideous, the red chainring doesn't help matters at all - but if you like, it who cares.
berries all picked and cooked!
red chain ring is carry over and yes, it needs to be black so will change in due course.
No bleeding hands yet, but thanks for the heads up!
There's a lot going on with the fork and seatpost
Pass the eye bleach !! I can talk I’ve got some very colorful looking bikes 🙂
As long as you like it it’s all good !!
I was close to Checkout on an orange Stigmata a few years back. Ended up buying a Tripster instead, but it was 50/50 cos they are gorgeous frames. Did they have an option for a front mech originally?That might've been what swayed it.
I wouldn't've put a Lauf anywhere near mine 😉
But I bet it's a loverly ride.
Oh, a square mech band, kewl
