Well, I’ve been needing a bit of positivity in my life after the last few weeks, so my new Ribble Gravel Ti arrived a week early yesterday. I’ve always wanted a titanium frame and decided to treat myself. I have bought it to ultimately replace my Ribble Endurance AL road bike and make the road rides more interesting all year round. It’s a Gravel Ti in XL, base spec with SRAM APEX AXS and Mavic Allroad wheels. I’ll upgrade the wheels at some point.
A quick spin yesterday down the street was all I had time for, but it feels really nice. I’m sure some gravel purists will wince at the fact it will spend most of it’s time on the road, but I’m not a fast road rider by any means and ride solo 99% of the time.
