Overall I’m super pleased with it and think 1300 is great value. Should probably have gone with 105 and not tiagra but we’ve just had a baby and the extra 300 was a bit of a squeeze and I thought I probably didn’t need 105 for carrying a child round. Ha maybe that should be a new race category. Cyclocross with babies!!
Many thanks for all you help Ribble. I’ll definitely be coming back for more soon.

CGR steel gravel bike
Solid bike which feels strong and reactive. A well balanced bike at a great price. Loved thrashing through the mud and paths on my first ride.
The website and ordering was really easy. Setting up the bike out of the box was easy.
The Reynolds 725 steel frame weighs 2.3kgs and the full monocoque forks weigh 470g. A 105 build weighs in at approximately 10.5kgs .
The frame carries a 3 year warranty. All other parts have the standard manufacturer's warranty.
The CGR 725 has ample clearance for 45mm tyres on the 700c wheels (40mm with full mudguards) and 47mm on the 650b wheels.
There are 3 bottle cage fittings, seat tube, down tube and top tube.
We recommend a maximum rider weight of 120kgs (264lbs).
Yes, the frame does have discreet mudguard mounts for full mudguards. However guards are not currently compatible with the 650b wheels.
The BB shell is a traditional 68mm thread.
The seatpost is a 27.2mm with seat clamp of 30.0mm.
The frame has mounts for a rear rack and can handle 20kgs of luggage with ease.
The CGR 725 takes flat mount disc brakes.
Due to the many different systems people use we do not supply pedals with bikes but you can find a great array of pedals here.
