You waited this long to mention that Al Mega?! That's some serious hardware. The whole pile is impressive

Found it abandoned on side of road, didnt look so good then.

Insanity. Alpinestars are quite desirable in the vintage MTB scene

 

[Gravelgrinder59]

Thanks, realize that. It’s got reinforced frame, so a little later one

 

[Captain Awesome]

Can't wait to get back out on the gravel

I should start posting pictures of the country roads around here, it'll either calm the urges, or drive you insane. Rolling farmland for smiles and miles

 

[Captain Awesome]

Probably fits in here as well as the retro MTB category

Would!

Lol good luck, that is the only one I've ever heard of, in the hands of an avid collector. The rumor is that 15 were made.

Suspension ??

Suspension ??

Sort of. The rider is suspended, not the bike.

This one isn't exactly a road, atv trail adjacent to the neighborhood:

But it'll get you to some roads...

Please, nobody post pictures of beautiful gravel bikes. Last thing I need is another bike on my wishlist.

Sorry, with that plea for no pics, I couldn't resist. But no worries, you can't buy this bike anywhere. I built it last winter. This is a custom Candy Apple Red paint job on a Chinese carbon fiber frame, fully integrated headset and full internal cabling (looking for the cables in the photo is like playing Where's Waldo? It's got Super Team carbon fiber wheels with a Shimano 105 drivetrain, and hydraulic disc brakes. I'm running 37mm wide tires right now, but they'll take bigger with this frame. I've set it up with tubeless ready rims, but still have inner tubes in them. Weighs in around 21.5 lbs (with pedals attached).

Gators! Wow Captain. Yesterday I stopped to help a small turtle across the road and thought it good for nature to help the guy out.
I'm glad you game him "personal space".

I rescue turtles on the regular. Stopped traffic for one just yesterday
