Boardman Gravel bike

[MrGrumpy]

Was having a nose in my local Halfords and was looking at the latest boardmans . Spotted this burnt orange coloured gravel bike . Have to say quite light and very smart looking and right on the money for c2w etc . A gravel bike is on my n+1 list ;-)

 

[I like Skol]

Orange seems to be the in colour at the mo'. Do Orange make an orange gravel bike?

Focus don't even have their 2019 range on their website yet, but this is the new Mares 9.9.

Discussed in a couple of threads if you search on model number

1x drive trains with wide range cassettes = expensive.

Not really......shimano 11/42s are pretty cheap compared dura ace, sram red, sram xd. Even suntour ones are cheap

Now on the lookout for flared bars :-)

Since using them on my GT gravel bike I have been convinced of their superiority over traditional drop bars. After my last bike was written off I now have a spare set lurking in the attic, 'just in case'......

The SRAM cassettes aren’t cross compatible with Shimano freehubs though, are they?
