Further evidence that road bikes are becoming mountain bikes and achieving the singularity

Gravel bikes are just 90s mountain bikes with lower bottom brackets. Change my mind.

I mean yeah, wasn’t the rock & road basically the ur-coffee grinder?

Probably.

90s mountain bikes are sweet.

It’s true. Bottom brackets are just a leeeetle too high.

Nothing new, been a thing as long as I can recall. My first MTB had mismatched tires back in ‘96. Most off-road bikes have or should have mismatched tires, they’re doing very different things at either end of the bike. Business in the front with the tire of influence. Party in the back gettin’ fast and loose. Ya know, the definition of mullet. :metal:
