Joy Rides: Ron's Bikes Alumax II Prototype

The Big Ring Report take

Ron's Bikes, apparently not content with merely existing, has unleashed the Alumax II prototype, a gravel machine so aggressively 'pointy end' it likely comes with its own venture capital funding. This second iteration boasts revised angles, tires plump enough to make a roadie faint, and an aesthetic that screams "I raided a vintage parts bin, but make it *fashion*." It's a testament to the fact that even gravel, once the refuge of the unpretentious, now requires its own bespoke, retro-futuristic arms race.
