It's going to be my gravel bike. I can drop a kilo per wheel putting on my Stan's wheels with gravel tyres.

Something about those rigid forked Whippets make them look like such a fun bike, guess it reminds me of a slightly sclaed down version of my rigid forked Wazoo fatbike, I'd find a 2x version hard to refuse... Enjoy!

I have a similar set up, procaliber with rigid carbon forks. I love it, gets ridden a lot. Just works perfectly for me, keep toying with getting a ‘proper’ gravel bike but know it won’t be nearly as much fun

Enjoy!

A morning converting from qr to bolt through. Then fitting suspension seat post and riser bars, lube gear cable and a quick bleed.
Just got some Soeed Rockers to fit and I’m good to go.

Hmmm... really toying with the idea of one of these as a gravel/off road touring bike. Seem to make a lot of sense angle wise. Wish I could find one locally to ride. Could build something pretty high end for £2000 ish.
