Along_the_Wire thanks mate. Will take a look. Any particular make or model?

There’s a Mondraker Dune on FB Marketplace for £650 that looks alright. Think the RRP is £2k so it’s probably stolen. But I didn’t steal it so I think I’m in the clear. Thoughts? Feelings?
Dubman That would be shit on the road through, Dubbers. Millsy has clearly stated he wants a bike capable of both.
Millsy I’m getting some advice, hold tight.
Millsy it’s a MTB pal

That’s why I said 29″ wheels as they do roll faster.
Gravel bike is great on the road and on trails. Way better than a MTB does the same
Ah right. My sons bike has rock shox or whatever its called on the front fork and you can switch that on and off. If you fix it does it ride better on the road?
There’s far too much choice nowadays and it all costs an arm and a leg. Give me the white dog poo halcyon days of either a chopper, a Burner/Boxer or racer.
Might just get a local scally to half inch a decent road bike from someone’s garage.
Specialized Diverge or Canyon Grail is what I’m being told. Big price range on the Diverge.
Will take a look bud. Ta
The ole Bike Bants could do with an upgrade.
Sonder Camino or Calibri.
Wife has just got the calibri and it’s great, versatile for road and gravel and won’t break the bank.
sub company of the fantastic Alpkit brand.

Pick from here, Millsy. There’s a wide range, the one for £800 in there new. If you’re looking at a decent second-hand one, the expensive ones here will be a good kind in terms of brand and type.

I’ve refused to get one, but so many of my mates have now got one, I’m gonna be an outlier at some point over the summer.
Cheers dude. Slim pickings on the usual second hand places (Gum tree etc). Is there a Mamil gathering place online I can tap up for a decent second hand one under a grand? Just dipping my toe.
