CX/gravel grinder for adventures.

[Pearl]

The Mr Pink is more roadie than adventure compared to the grade. if you are looking for a road rig that can go on gravel paths and adventure, thats the ticket. if you are looking for a straight adventure roadie, that GT Grade is more along the lines. I would say the Pink is going to be the better ticket for you. And buy it new so you can get a fit with it and you will be in love forever

Looks like Cyclecraft is the only local dealer?

Cody, one of the Halter's Crew, commutes to the shop on the D&R towpath with a Mr Pink. Winner!

The focus cx bike looks hot. @jdog you have a close out you said. I might check it out.

 

[jdog]

Also looking at some of the other suggestions. Need to look at the C-Dale and GT.

I do like the Mr. Pink

Problem with trek @stb222.???

 

[Magic]

Slate. Do it!

 

[blacksun]

I have a mr pink, and totally love the ride quality, even though it has traditional road geometry its gravel capable. I think it won the gravel world championship in 2013( i think).

That being said I had a chance to ride the Cannonade Slate, it was a total game changer and now Im trying to figure out which bikes to sell so I can buy one.

We don't have to act like we like them anymore since Lance was deflowered.

They went south for me when they teamed with Volkswagen in '93

Hey Buddy, you have VW to thank for this mild winter we're having so I'd be a little grateful if I were you.

The purple ano hollowgrams are game changers for sure. But what about the slate impressed you so much? Clearly there is hype about this bike but I still don't get it yet. I want to but I'm not quite sure yet

This isn't a new concept for Cannondale. Remember when they put a headshock on their CX bike? Suspension with a drop bar feels weird IMO.

I am 99% positive I am staying rigid on this. As that is the way all of my bikes have been heading.
