I use a Mammut alpine style mountaineering backpack for that sort of thing tbh, not too offensive looking as it’s black, and is also a quality pack for hiking/travelling.

This is very true. I think I'm over complicating things. I don't remember complaining when I'd spend all day in the woods on my rigid steel Kona back in the day.
I think a titanium all surfaces bike with swappable wheel sets is the one.

loads of variables when sending a bike, but bike shops can be good for helping box up bikes (in my experience, anyway). obviously it's more difficult to do that at the moment, but might be worth asking the seller to explore if they need help in that department. I used Anyvan to get a bike delivered from the UK to NL a couple of years back and it was surprisingly hassle free.

I've used them for two seasons - they came with my Cube Cross Race SL 2016 bike. I've been super happy with them, however my pair isn't tubeless ready and only accepts up to 33mm, so I just bought a pair of Hunt Gravel 4 Seasons. I don't know if the newer versions offers this.

Tempting
Did you import it yourself? Was it a hassle?
From working in cycling I've seen a lot of data and a lot of images of fu fu bikes go very wrong.

Trying to decide weather to swap my road Bianchi for a gravel/all-round bike or just get an MTB for the light XC I'd like to do.
People with gravel bikes, how rough can you actually go on them? The trails I'd be on are relatively gentle but they're definitely off-road and not just gravel paths.
Don't want to end up with something I don't use because it's too uncomfortable.

I want to buy a bike on ebay that's collection only in Southampton - in normal times I'd just go and bring it back but obviously not happening at the moment. I can organise collection & delivery but presumably I'm going to have to convince the seller to box it up etc right?
Any fukers in Southampton want to collect a bike for me if they say no?

Mavic Aksiums any good as a cheap set of wheels for gravel duty? Bike is a bit lardy anyway so not too concerned about weight.

used to have a hong-fu FM066 4 years ago. great bikes. know quite a few people who have had them - never had any problems, very popular on LFGSS. I think comments from people like RAMBO are hugely misinformed

in my experience of dwelling on cycling forums (:ubercool
I have seen countless canyons and cervelos cracked - not a single hong-fu
not to say all "orient express" frames are invincible. i am sure there are some shit ones. hong-fu are not in that category. same goes for light-bicycle rims
