Just built this to replace my crashed Cannondale CAADX, I took it over Ilkley Moor yesterday, the climb from town over to Keighley Road, tarmac then gravely track, got a few PBs, I was on Marathon Racer road tyres pumped up much too high for the gravel, should be better now I have built the Stans and put some CX tyres on.

'Keighley Gate'

Still surprisingly is, (or was till recently a public road), doubt I'd take my Octavia estate over there (if it was the Scout, with more clearance, maybe yes)

That said, it is a cracking view from the top, in the right weather

It's also the site of two Ilkley Harriers races
- it's crossed during the Ilkley Moor Fell-Race (run that a few times myself - first time was in 6" of snow!)
- there's a hill-climb, from the car-park 9at bottom), only a mile, but definately uphill all the way!!! (wouldn't be surprised if Ilkley CC also use it, for a similar purpose, due it being so quiet)

Make sure you put that rock back in the rockery.

It was back before the wife even knew I had used it.

I have run across the moor in all weathers in all directions its a regular event venue for Airienteers, the Orienteering Club for Leeds and the Aire Valley.

I've got the Kinesis Gran Fondo how I want it now:

I appreciate that the mudguards, reflective bits and bobs and the bell may not be to everyone's taste, but it all works for me

just picked up my new VN today

awaiting delivery of a Ti bottle cage, but think the carbon one suits it quite well too

Nice.
Beware of the Ti bottle cages. The are rather flimsy where they attached to the bike. Both mine broke. VN did replace them though so fair play. Then another broke so swapped them for plastic jobbies.

Beware of the Ti bottle cages.

I called into Planet X in Barnsley for a couple of cheap alloy cages and noticed they had some Ti ones for £15 they also had these that I thought would go well with a Ti frame.

I put cheap Chinese carbon cages on mine. They've been excellent.
