Me. And I don't give a damn that I do, although I prefer pootling. We're both very ordinary.brundonbianchi said:

Reasonable effort, thats what it means 🙂shirley_basso said:I have an equivalent ride (40m, 2h) at 184w but absolutely SFA idea of what it means, buti presume the 80mile/ 24mph chat is probably a lie

I really like that, for several reasons:RichN95. said:Anyway, here's the bike
1 - It's not got a full celeste paint job
2 - Shimano, not Campag
3 - Discs
All of which will wind up the dull traditionalists, thus a good thing.1 -
I love it except discs1

Looks like the rack of paint swatches you get in B&Q. Too fussy in a not very cool way..
The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Fairly sure @dish_dash runs a very similar settup to that.
Same frame, & discs, anyway. Made my 2011 canyon look very old fashioned.0 -

Your 2011 canyon looks old fashioned next to my 2008 boardman. It's not that it isn't a nice bike (it is) but the graphics are shocking.1

Sorry to sound awful but that's probably because it is. On the bright side at least that means no one will steal it.rick_chasey said:Fairly sure @dish_dash runs a very similar settup to that.

You mean you don't think having canyon.com plastered all over every surface possible is a classy option?shirley_basso said:Your 2011 canyon looks old fashioned next to my 2008 boardman. It's not that it isn't a nice bike (it is) but the graphics are shocking.

I rarely have any interest in the bike aesthetics posts, but my word, that's ugly. I've seen better looking city knockarounds.mrb123 said:https://road.cc/content/tech-news/bianchi-reveals-arcadex-gravel-bike-279487

Jezzus, It looks like a BMX that been a really bad accident and then dipped in a tank at the sewage treatment plant.mrb123 said:https://road.cc/content/tech-news/bianchi-reveals-arcadex-gravel-bike-279487

I am very much into the aesthetics of both rider / kit and bike. But I am a superficial twunt at times.
Hirschi was my man of the year as much for looking absolutely mint on his long breakaway, as for his results.0 -
MF is not normally one to folliw the herd, but yup, that is honking.

Oh I'm a big fan of rider aesthetics, showing souplesse and all that. Not all that bothered what the bike itself looks like though. Except for that monstrosity.yorkshireraw said:

Downtube and BB design make it look a bit like an e-bike.
Doesn't look that different to many of the current gravel/adventure bike crop although there are some which are much better looking. The Vielo one is probably the best looking in that carbon gravel category https://www.vielo.cc/pages/v1-gravel-bikes but it is catastrophically expensive. And doesn't seem to have the same bikepacking mounting options as that Bianchi (just looking at the photos, the Bianchi has a 3 bolt mount under the down tube, a bolt mount for a top tube bag and a dropped rear bottle cage to accommodate a frame bag).

it could have a built in sink, bath, tv, Kari Byron and all singing and dancing Martin Fandango style discotheque spund system but its still utterly gopping.bobmcstuff said:Downtube and BB design make it look a bit like an e-bike.

Function over form for an offroad/bikepacking bike though isn't it.
I am not sure that aesthetic works on a Bianchi though, granted.0 -

I’m zero percent interested in ‘gravel bikes’. A product designed for an application that really isn’t there. I have a hybrid / 29’er for semi rough stuff, why the hell anyone would think that drop bar, rigid forked bikes on anything worse than canal tow paths / CX stuff is a good idea is beyond me. It must be mostly down to a demand from soft, middle agers, that just can’t be doing with proper road bikes ( and that’s fine ) but does it need a whole new type of bike? Not on my watch.mrb123 said:https://road.cc/content/tech-news/bianchi-reveals-arcadex-gravel-bike-279487
