The gravel bike, Cannondale Topstone. Aluminium, GRX 400. Better wheels and 40mm Pirelli gravel M tires. Capable machine on a budget.
Harry - Keith and Joan's Gallery
Dust covered, cowpoop encrusted, big tyred trail weapon. Goes where it wants and is a blast to ride. Its a decent town bike as well on its fat road tires. This is the bike with few limits now known as Dirty Harry.

This is the great thing with today's tech, so many ways to solve the problem of extended gear range. As with all things, pros and cons for different approaches. The best solution as always the one that works for the rider.

I reworked my Nicolai Argon »cruiser« to a single chain-ring drive a while ago. Funny irrational thing with that: I somehow felt vulnerable afterwards, driving that set-up ...

For those into bicycle racing, the website Pro Cycling Stats (PCS) has a nice breakdown by-the-numbers on Tour de France/Giro D'Italia/Liège-Bastogne-Liège/Il Lombardia/Worlds winner Tadej Pogacar's historic year. PCS is a great site for professional bicycle road racing and cyclocross racing nerds.
For example, he had the 2nd most wins ever in a season (24). In multi-day stage races (e.g., TDF) he wore the leaders jersey on 91% of the days he raced. On the points-based ranking system for the season, he scored ~twice as many points as the next rider. (That next rider, Remco Evanepoel, won Olympic Gold in the road race and time trial, and was the time trial world champion.) Tadej earned more ranking points than 4 of 18 top-level teams.
Tadej Pogačar's record-breaking 2024 in numbers.

In a previous time period, I was trying to choose between a Team Fuji bike and a Bianchi. Ended up, against the advice of others, in getting my first car (used), a MGB. British Leyland, need I say more.

I can see why they chose to use a horse in the Iliad.
My wife is short with quite short legs, so no off the peg touring bike is a proper fit.. We decided on a custom frame for 26 inch tyres, using shorter 160 mm cranks, allowing for a lower bottom bracket. Everything was designed to win a few mm here and a few mm there for the lowest step through height. The frame is strong and stiff enough for lightly loaded touring (we go on long European cycle camping tours). Constructed from oversized Reynolds tubing, fillet brazed. And of course her choice of colour....
