Here's the route I did a couple of years with a group of mates, it is a road route, but it does include the avenue vert from Dieppe: https://www.komoot.com/collection/1625109/-london-to-paris-route
My two cents on that section though if you'll indulge me - it's great infrastructure, but isn't gravel and I have to say, I thought it was really boring. 45km of pretty much dead flat stuff with banking on either side most of the way, so no views. Could have been the fact it pissed down the whole way along it though...

Pretty much what it says on the tin - I'm looking to sell a Ritchey Commando I picked up in the Merlin sale years ago and have ridden quite a bit, but am not looking to shift for a number of reasons - primarily I don't ride it any more and I have a kid on the way, so need to clear out some room and could do with a bit of cash.
The bike is a ton of fun, I rode the South Downs Way on it in November and really couldn't have thought of a better bike to do it on.
It's got Halo wheels I had built up on it, running Maxxis Mammoths and GX Eagle with absolutely monstrous RS Guide brakes.
Size would be helpful wouldn't it? Large - I'm 5ft 11in and suits me perfectly.
I'm looking for £700 all in? Don't really want to split it, but if it comes down to it I'd consider it. Collection from N3 preferred, but could post at buyers cost.

I am inclined to agree. I do have a nice set of silver Middleburns and a Nitto S65 seat post that, with a little polishing, would do the job nicely.
Any recommendations for wide, silver drop bars with relatively shallow drops? I've got a set of Venturemaxs on my Riv, but I'm not completely sold on them.
Definite indulgence, but they just seemed to be the fastest and grippiest tyres out there in a size I've come to love.

Waiting to get the frame back from Quintessential. Bit of a back log I believe. Late June to start working on it they said.
In the mean time I've been resisting buying new components and debating what to do for a finishing kit - stick with all black from my Midnight Special or possibly go silver and steal bits from the Pack Rat that I bought from crow.
I have bought some new rubber though (650b Umtanum Ridges) and am leaning towards all black with Campandgoslow eastern rattle and maybe a mud green Brooks C17.
Decisions decisions.
