  • Well I guess, Quark may get you some much more interesting stuff than that...

  • ls this some kind of problem at all?I mean, it is not wishing to add an electron to each atom in the Universe...

  • Get out as fast as I can, considering how often stuff goes terribly wrong on one of those...

  • Ah, OK! Language misunderstanding on my part, as apparently "sailing" in English does not exclusively refer to wind-powered means of locomotion...

  • Different kind of drop bars than on a road bike, though: Wider and more upright sitting position.Worth trying out at least once when looking for a new bike.

  • Great!A much more wholesome story than I expected!Sadly, some kind of tragic refugee story is much more likely nowadays...

  • Remember that the geometry is completely different to a roadbike. You are much more upright and less bowed.You also have many more completely different holding positions than for a classical mountain bike bar.Most comfortable and ergonomic ride I owned so far.Solved basically all of the hand and back pain issues I occassionally had during longer tours on classic bikes.

  • What's the matter with Target?

  • I know these, although they are not as common here as gravelbikes.Kinda like watered-down Fixies optimized for urban commute.Will not work well in more off-road (so: "gravel") scenarios and for touring.Different thing, I would say.

  • That are the ones I have seen in old movies.Never encountered it in RL up to now, though...

  • Well, as the optimal number of bikes is generally accepted to be n+1 ... 🤷‍♂️

  • What's a normal hybrid?

  • You had a mountainbike with drop bars?Unusual.

    Also: Basically all gravelbikes come with disc brakes, major distinction to roadbikes.

    I had a Randonneur-like bike in my youth in the 80s, which had some features common with the recent gravelbikes.

    I liked it very much, so was very happy when gravelbikes became a thing 10 years ago or so.

  • That.

    • Some TT- or Insta/FB-Link: 0%

  • I did eventually lose the house because of the 2008 crash

    I would be interested about the mechanisms behind that, as I only observed it from afar out of Europe.

    I then had the impression that for existing houses it was mainly a problem for the banks?

    Didn't know that owners like you also were directly affected.

  • Hybrid between roadbike and mountainbike.Someone posted a pic of one in another comment.

    I have an older one (ok, actually two...) of those:https://www.salsacycles.com/collections/fargo

    It is more on the mountainbike-y side, others are typically slightly less rugged.

  • For these often the journey is the destination, I think.But also, I only know about the Dnd and Warhammer fantasy stuff like my son is involved with...Comment was about something different, if I understood correctly.

  • lt seems you got lucky. Typical freshly divorced guys one hears about, own half of a house that they can't use any more, but still a mountain of loans to pay, while in parallel having to pay monthly alliments to their ex-wifes.

    Happy it worked out for you so well!
