When you get married on October 31, every anniversary is Hallowe'en. 🖤🦇

(Yes, the wedding was appropriately themed. Yes, we wore black. No, this is not a wedding pic; those are in the forbidden closet of mystery.)

PROPRIETARY PARTS STILL SUCK. This is why Gothic gravel bikes all run a 27.2mm seat post.

It's round, not D-shaped or wedge-shaped or aero-whatsit.

It's a standard size: if you damage it, you can wander into any bike shop and they'll have something to suit.

No getting locked into one brand's component ecosystem, and no chasing obscure or discontinued components. Who has the time to trawl forums for hours? You'd rather be out riding.

Gothic: spend more time enjoying the scenery, not hunting for spare parts. 🦇 🖤

Rubber so fresh, it's still hairy. Just like a baby elephant. (No, really, Google it; it's adorable.  )

You may think this Hope clamp is just there for show. OK, that's partly true. But we actually specced it because it works.

"What do you mean 'it works'?," you say, "It's just a seatpost clamp."

Ah, sweet summer child, not all clamps are created equal. Ever gone out on your bike and found yourself slowly sinking during the course of your ride? Congratulations, you've got a crappy clamp. Its sins can include clamping unevenly, not clamping firmly enough to work, or even damaging your frame.

So that's why we love the Hope ones. Made in England from 2014 T6 aluminium, they do their job properly, and even work properly with dropper seatposts.

The only question is: what colour do you want? 🤔

Gothic is a friend to all creatures, including pelicans. Big, slightly bite-y pelicans. Thanks to David for the pic!

Most people will never notice these oil-slick stem bolts, and that's fine.

A beautiful frame is a wonderful thing, but the tiny touches on a custom build are a lot of fun, too. We'll notice, and so will you, every time you get ready to ride.

Drop a 🌈 if you spotted the oil slicks before we told you. 🖤
