Got an Anyroad today

I like it a whole lot better than the hybrid I had. I love the LBS store too. Where I got the Specialized not so much love.

Looks nice. 32mm tires for the real world.

Yup that's the one. I just put Marathon 35's on the hybrid. I had them swap them over to the Anyroad. I like those tires. This LBS is a very accommodating bike store. Hopefully this bike will last more than 410 miles, before I want a change. I just needed a lower riding position. I also like the 2 x 10 as apposed to the 3 x 7.

Nice bike. That wold be perfect for the gravel country roads around me. Allot of the roads around me end in gravel and I have to turn around. Would be nice to keep going.

Looks like a fun bike to ride on any road or not, depending on how firm the surface. ENJOY!!!

Nice bike. Very versatile.
Please report back about how you like the mechanical discs after a few months of use.

For that price I would think it would have hydraulic brakes. But that's just me.

BB5 calipers are problematic, consider upgrading to BB7, esp if you have issues.

I've logged over 2,200 miles of gravel and pavement on my 2014 (bought in 2015) without issues. Took a nasty tumble off my rack on the highway at 60mph. Picked it up, took it to the lbs and all they did was replace the bar tape and straighten/adjust a few things and it's been great since. It's been my primary commuter. Still running everything original including the tires. I did add the rack giant built specifically for this bike.

Consider upgrading to Spyre. They just work better.

I'll bookmark this thread and pop back as I am very interested in this design. I recently bought a toughroad and have no qualms with it but believe in the future I would like to switch to a more road-orientated cycle with wide tires.

I did a 7.5 mile run today. I averaged 13.25 mph. The best I did with the hybrid was 12.
