Ludicrously expensive bike stuff

[Stredda]

Like mountain bikes there will be (and already kind of is) a wide and varied range of gravel bikes to suit what you are looking to ride. As @rowdyflat mentioned you don't need wide tyres for a lot of riding if a lot of the road is sealed or champaign gravel.
Racers seem to be going wider as on less that optimum gravel, the wider tyre does actually roll faster due to the MTB tyres being able to run high TPI casings, which gives a softer side wall and because of the extra volume, the puncture resistance is improved over a narrower gravel tyre with the same TPI.
Also, if comfort is a priority, wider tyres are preferable.
All just depends on what you want out of your bike.

There already is suspension for gravel bikes. They're called hardtails.

50km gravel pub crawl

When does this magical time happen and why was I not aware of it

The only reason to ride gravel is to pub crawl in my opinion

Another bargain found at MTBD

360° still from a recent 50km gravel pub crawl with a shuttle back to Melrose from the last pub.

One on a 47c, mine with 29 x 2.2 and my mate in the middle with 29 x 3" DHF Minions.

The forks on the fat gravel bike are Carver forks.

Speaking of expensive, what hubs are you using now that we can't get DT hubs from the EU anymore?

I'll top this - but not MTB clothing. I tried on a t-shirt at Burberry a couple of months ago. T-shirt. White with yellow splashes.

AUD950.00

Yes $950.00 for a t-shirt.

Would go well with a Balenciaga track suit.

It also say ‘plus shipping’. I’d want it hand delivered by 7 of 9 for that sort of money!

Looks like the Aussie dollar has screwed me. I could afford $169,467 but now it's out of my budget.

I was really looking forward to the personal thankyou from Sabrina.

Sabrina....

Hey, if you can't afford the boots there's always the sandals...

But then you will have to look like this. There's no price for dignity.
