GRAVEL BIKES
What is a gravel bike?
There are so many variations in this category, it's hard to give one straight answer.... but "we love cycling.com" came up with a nice synopsis -
" Simply said, a gravel bike is a combination of a road bike (happy on tarmac) and a cyclo-cross bike (happy on mud). ... Tracks that are too technical for a road bike, yet too fast for a cyclo-cross bike. Mellow single tracks, farm roads, gravel, crushed cobblestones, tarmac — whatever."
They might appear to some to be a bit of a "Jack of all trades, master of none" sort of bike, but more and more people are embracing the movement.
The gravel scene is a bit more fluid than one might think, it allows you to hit the road in lycra, chasing STRAVA PB's, looking for adventure, or equally heading out the door in baggy shorts, and pannier racks fitted. They really aren't for everyone, but so far, we're converting to the lifestyle here in our shop.
We will stock various models and brands that fit into our ethos. Our preference is for Shimano components and hydraulic disc brakes, so we'll continue with the models that fit our beliefs.
If you would like to order a gravel bike, below are some of the models that we hope to stock in the coming weeks once they become available.
