That price seems more than fair if they are made in canada.

I think the only thing holding them together is that they rebuild Foxs' old stuff like the Alp and original float.
Risse Racing - TK-5 Main Landing Gear Damper for Lancair 235 320 360
TK-5 Main Landing Gear Damper Lancair 235 320 360
Loooovve this frame!!
Especially the robust looking downtube and the way they were able to save weight by slimming down the rear shock eyelet/connector. Such a cool way to adjust the shock length, I wonder why other companies haven't thought of that.I put a deposit for 3 frames but had to retract when I realized they had sliding dropouts and my wheels wouldn't fit
(I hope this gets understood as a joke!)

You know whats good about gravel specific bikes? They're not gravel specific. They work on road, off road, on gravel, on dirt and mine even has a dropper. I got one instead of a roadie and you'll never convince me a road bike is better for anything except maybe racing.if you buy a gravel specific bike, you honestly deserve it.
Yeah disc brakes and wider tyre compatibility make them a decent bit more versatile. The roads near my house are murderous with dipshit drivers but there's some good gravel paths in the cane fields and we have a 160km/100 mile railway that has been converted to a gravel path. Plus it has a pub pretty much every 30km along the way.
What does it weigh with road tyres?
And how many long hilly group road rides have you done on it with a bunch of proper roadies?
Weight doesn't matter when you have a beer in the second bottle cage.
And we're mountain bikers, why would we willingly subject ourselves to such cruel and boring punishment like riding up hills in lycra?
I'm not.
I enjoy riding all sorts of bikes.
What sort of "mountainbiker" are you that you've never ridden up a hill?
and most "mountainbikers" special little uniforms are just as cringe as "roadies" lycra. infact often more so these days.

I don't care what the hipsters think, and it's not pointless if I like it.
also, scotch ale is one of the worst things to be included in the animal kingdom known as beer.
I'm not sure why that's relevant as it's a bit like complaining that Haggis doesn' taste like a Macdonnald's beef patty. But if you meant Scottish brewed ales, lagers and beers as a whole you'd have to be incredibly inexperienced in sampling our much varied produce.
what I meant by "pointless" was quantity

I assumed "scotch ale" is a type of beer, because every one I've tried has been sweet and malty. I just looked it up, and it may be a style known as "wee heavy". not my cup of tea.
Fair enough. We definitely have enough variety of beers, ales and lagers to here to please you though
Well its an aluminium frame with a dropper post in it. Maybe like 9kg? I suspect I wouldn't last long trying to keep up doing a long hilly group road ride with a bunch of proper roadies.
Although do you think you could give me a $10,000 full carbon Pinarello with Durace and I would do alright doing a long hilly group ride with a bunch of proper roadies? Because given my barley based liquid carbohydrate intake I'm pretty sure that answer would be the same.
Like Slyfink said, what we refer to "Scotch Ale" in Canada (and probably in the US too) is called Wee Heavy in Scotland. It is a fucking abomination, very effective at inducing explosive vomiting within minutes, or Type-2 diabetes for those able to keep it down.
Last time I was in Scotland, i was vomiting from some honey-infused beer in Inverness. Good times!
