  Nice! Looks great, it's such a lush colour. I am guessing you added the chainring? Had a great (and longest) ride on mine this morning and love it more. Just need to change the saddle to a Romin

  Why not? It's a classy ride. Also delivered the day after the build date they said when I ordered it and seriously well put together by their mechanics. And it has a very sexy bum, lovely curved seat and chain stays.

  Also I really want to big up the On-One Rujo. I got this for £1250 but I hace seen Planet X doing one day deals for £999. I LOVE the colour. Well specced, great geometry, immediately confident ride. The kind of bike you climb off and can't wait until you can climb back on. Love it

  I rode a Look style clipless system for a while never really got on with it and fixed I ride flats and straps or vintage clips. But want to try clip less again such a dinosaur I am. So the easiest to get used to

  Anyone else got a Rujo? Loving mine so far, very fast curing my knee pain. Just have to decide whether to go Shimano M520 or Time Atacs

  You can ride literally any bike on gravel

  Very true, however I am more looking for a geared bike with plush tyres than specifically something for gravel. A bike that I can chuck about a bit. The only geared bike I have at the moment is a road bike.

  I have a mate that works at temtple, have seen the Adventure Disc close up, it is a good frame and well specced.

  I do like the look of the Marin, and it is so cheap, but you know you will be swapping parts out left right and centre.

  this is on offer

  Found this Straggler on ebay, its in Glasgow and he won't post but I have contqacted him and he can get it to0 Newbury as he works there some time. need some aesthetic tweaks but the parts look great.

  There is a Kepler on ebay but well used and seller is asking £1400 for it so a bit much.

  Is there we come for gravel bike advice? Want steel so am looking at marin Nicasio as a budget option, On One Rujo which looks very well specced for the price, Temple Adventure Disc in yellow or a Surly Straggler is Chlorine Dream if I can find one in my size, as pair with my Steamroller. Opinions welcome.
