Is this you?

1. Had a fixie at one point
2. decided fixies are gay and got a cyclocross bike
3. decided you are not a racer and just want to cruise on some choice dirt for a day and got a gravel bike
4. decided you really like that and want to do it hardcore and now you stick overpriced boutique bike touring shit on your bike (because cool colors) with and go bike camping with your hyperlite 1 pound $1000 dollar tarp

Eh. You got me half right. I've never bought into the "Gravel Bike" marketing, opting instead to go for a comfy commuter - It handles gravel just fine.

All memes aside, gravel bikes are great and everyone should own one, especially now all the 2016/2017 models are dirt cheap.

Standard kit isn't specifically aero. If he were in a skinsuit like pic related maybe, but he's not.

I'm curious, what do you think people wear for CX?
