it was intended as a tongue-in-cheek post; I’m on vacation and brought this one with me, I was riding what appeared on the map to be a nice wide gravel MUP, that, after a few miles, got narrower and more overgrown. As I was picking my way through peanut butter gumbo mud, root ladders and the 5th or 6th water crossing, I said:
”this is so the Wrong Bike for this ride”
There’s been some famously combative threads about Flat Pedals, Downtube Shifters, and Aluminum Frames, all of which this bike has, so it, therefore is “the Wrong bike”
It’s my #3 bike, the townie/path-bike, and so it kinda gets different components thrown at it, depending on what I plan on doing with it.
