In this week's GMBN Dirt Shed Show, Martyn Ashton is joined by Rich Payne to ask the question, should you rush out to buy some road bike drop bars for your bike? Because, it was only last week that Neil told mountain biking that high-rise bars are the hot new trend! This subject was brought on by the Frankenstein setup that a few riders were using at the Leadville 100! Have gravel bikes really just become mountain bikes with curly handlebars? 🤔
