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.

Topstone or Slate or other

Not how I would want a bike set up, but to be fair i have more spacers than some would prefer.

I guess if it fits then awesome. I would hope a drop in cockpit angle was at least tried first?
Yeah I mean it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, i just can't imagine that being comfortable on the wrists.

This was literally after taking the bike off the box and assembling it together, didnt do any fitting, screws werent even torqued. Saddle and bars were adjusted before/during the first ride.
