I've been commuting all week on it, 13km each way on North Surrey/South London's crappy roads. I'm very pleased with it, seems more comfortable than my alloy CX bike but that might just be the slightly fatter tyres. Gravelking SKs make a very entertaining noise on tarmac.
I've had it just over a year and so far it's been great. Never had a dedicated winter/bad weather bike before. I originally got it for my commute too which involves a rough towpath. The mavic wheels and 40mm tyres made it comfy but sluggish. Putting some 28mm tyres and lighter wheels had made it much more snappy and fun to ride. If I had the choice again I'd probably go for the endurance ti as commuting is no longer a factor as I'll be working from home for the foreseeable. That being said if you do want something that will allow some light off road action and decent road performance get the cgr. Annoyingly they released the new frame a month after I got mine. Hope that helps.
It does - thanks.
My bike for flattish roads ... lots of fun !

Another £100 EBay purchase.
Loverly Reynolds 531 competition frame set with practically unused Xero wheels.
Converted it to a single speed for the moment running a 65 inch gear.
Gorgeous ride quality, sub 8kg.

Better pic, lovely build Halx
I'm not sure if I've posted this bike.
I like it. Double butted chromoly, weighed at 10.56kg, front weight bias, light 7 speed rear end.
I'm trying to find my drill.
I bought $20(Australian) lay bars, removed the stands and will get a better purchase fastening directly through cross bar. The lay bars are concave around bolt holes to suit an easy install. Fasteners (2 longer bolts +shaped washers less than $5Australian)
Cost of bike with bright usb rechargeable lights front/rear on useable GP4000 Continental tyres: $100(Australian)
Eg all up, less than 70 quid.
2 cm shorter than my others but agile on the drops and laybars should ease the straights. 1 happy cyclist.

@oldfatgit, what a horrible experience.
Anyways... here's a bike I recently put together for commuting. I bought a Kinesis Tripster AT frame when they were widely on sale earlier this year and have built it up with Shimano Metrea components done as 1x11 and some carbon bars and seatpost from China. Comes in at 9.5kg as pictured. I'm really enjoying riding it, being able to use wider tyres really does make a commute on UK's endlessly dug up roads more pleasant.

This is my ex winter bike, having been in a crash very similar sounding to Oldfatgit's below.
Recently acquired R5 as good weather bike, with Stages power meter and narrower 25mm tyres....
I'm riding... to the shops.
Kinesis GTD Ti
105 groupset, Fulcrum racing 5 wheels - my new commuter. Should have had a longer conversation with the wife before picking the parts, turns out she wouldn't have objected to me spending an extra £1k on it, so I could have had carbon wheels and Di2 as well.
Whether you want to post your new bike to your favorite forum, showcase your steed for your Instagram fans, or just want to show off your latest upgrades, there are a few keys to taking a great bike photo (that won’t be picked apart in the comments). In today’s post we’ll look at the dos and don’ts of snapping a brilliant bike pic!
The tandem. A good touring steed.

Before and after of my Scott Addict Gravel. Ditched the Ultegra and replaced with Record EPS. Also got a respray. I kept the stock wheels for CX/gravel events and swap them in as needed. I guess this is my 'quiver-killer' as I've now raced road, CX and gravel on this bike in the past year. And I always find that I am the only Campagnolo equipped rider at CX/gravel events...
pinarello razha picked up brand new in clearance sale for 800 quid..i thought it was a bargain?stuck some fulcrum racing 400's on it..removed white fulcrum decals..should i remove red decals from wheels too?..what do ya think?..bike rides well good handling especially at speed
