[#12317178]

I'm bored and have been wistfully staring at a Guillem Atalaya for the last hour.

Show me your titanium road/gravel/tourer bike.

Since this I've fitted a canyon carbon post and Zipp Firecrest 303 wheels. So comfy and fast.

One in road mode, the other in gravel mode. A versatile keeper of a bike. Wistfully stare no more, just go ahead and sell your other bikes/vital organs and buy one!

Just a PX Tempest but I really like it.

Sram Rival (with carbon cranks/Garbaruk ring), Zipp 303 wheels, Pro bars/stem with Redshift hand rear things.

Comfy and fast enough for me on South Downs tracks and roads. I do prefer the GRX on my wife’s bike though, the hoods are more comfortable and I do find the double tap shifting a bit irritating at times.

(recently sold) Planet-X Tempest. Really comfy, was great for Welsh Coast to Coast, not so good on local (easy) trails so swapped for a Nukeproof Digger.

@elshalimo - was definitely worth the wait for mine. Ordered a frame and then built it up from there.
I think I could probably get rid of my other bikes and keep just this and my full suss.

Walter (the Reilly Gradient) - still the nicest bike in the shed. Got me ‘round 3 (soon to be 4, providing I can lug my unfit rear around) Dirty Reivers and many SDW/Dales bimbles. Road wheels turns it into a super comfy mile muncher. Would recommend.

Picked this Titus up when they were on sale to replace my old Whyte. Chucked a set of PNW 520mm bars on along with their stem and dropper post and some spare 650b CK wheels to make a daft rigid drop bar xc bike.

Loads of fun and super comfortable though would probably be better suited to 29/700 so going to give that a go next.

Stealth ad if anyone is interested (apologies)

my friend is selling his lightly used kinesis gran fondo disc frame and forks, size 60cm. Will be going up on the classifieds as soon as he's stripped it and sent me the photos.

If anyone is interested, send me a message.

Used to sell atalayas, good winter road bike but much better gravel bikes out there.
Two of my riding buddies have these, I might have influenced that decision 😉

Hi @elshalimo - yes new Singular Kite, came just before Christmas.
A few tweaks to standard spec for T47 bottom bracket and internal dynamo cable routing.

I'd post a pic of my Ti Kite, but it seems you need to host the pic somewhere else first?

@rOcKeTdOg - any views on the Atalaya as an easy bridleway/tracks and crap roads bike? Most of my riding is local crap dirty roads, farm tracks, forest tracks and easy bridleways.

@Mackem the PX Hurricane is a very nice frame, I'd be very keen if they did a slightly bigger frame. My dad has one and it's very well made and is really comfy, it's like a magic carpet ride compared to my road bike.

Isn't the Hurricane slightly tighter on tyre clearance than the Tempest?

I don't know for sure but the Hurricane certainly can't take huge rubber but still has plenty of room. It's definitely more a comfort road focussed clearance than gravel focussed.
