Cyclocross and Gravelbiking (Recreational) This has to be the most physically intense sport ever invented. It's high speed bicycle racing on a short off road course or riding the off pavement rides on gravel like : "Unbound Gravel". We also have a dedicated Racing forum for the Cyclocross Hard Core Racers.

Twin Six Standard Rando XC
More details tomorrow, I think, but Ti frame, CF fork, four bottle mounts and lots of tire clearance -



Handsome machine.

What I see, I like. Very much. But I have a feeling the pricetag would give me the vapors, and I would need to have a lie down.

I love that bikes are speccing two bottles on the down tube.

But it’s really weird to not also include fork mounts.

Off-the-shelf Whisky, I assume, not one that was made specifically for this frame.

Yeah, I thought that was an odd choice that they want to restrict you to 1x.

For the price of the Whisky, you could get a Spork.

I like the look of these tires, is it just rendering or can someone recognize what they are?

Prototype Terravail (sp?). It’s a new take on skinwalls.

I went to Twin Six to pick up an order yesterday (I'm a few miles away from the office/warehouse) and got to see the Ti Rando in the metal - very nice looking machine.
