Why this bike?

Met Andy from Stooge Cycles at a ‘Steel is Real / Ti is Fly’ day in 2019 Forest of Dean. After a spin around the forest and a chat with a few ‘Stoogies’ I was convinced. I wasn’t actually going to buy a bike, was just a look around. But then do you ever go and just look at a puppy?! New wheels are planned as these are the original Sonder Love Mud hoops and have covered 1000s of miles now.

I absolutely love this bike and purchased it new from Stooge, before ‘gravel’ was such a thing! Completed MTB races, bikepacking, trail centres, Ride London, Birmingham Velo. It will never replace my Pace hardtail or my Yeti full sus, but I love it.

Any excuse
