Been looking for a gravel bike, sold my only bike which was a road bike a few years back. I love the look of the Orro Terra C but not sure I can justify the price tag. Would you recommend the ADV? Is there much of a difference between the 2 that you noticed and worth the extra ££? Thanks

[@themuddycyclist]

The biggest difference with the Orro was the gears, they were much better. But had a lot of fun with the ADV which is a lot cheaper. It really depends on whether you are comfortable paying the extra dosh for what is undoubtedly a better bike but at the end of the day the ADV is still a capable gravel bike.

@@themuddycyclist thanks for the reply! At the moment trying to look for something cheap as can’t justify the price tag atm for something I may not like or do much. I am struggling tho! How’d you find going from a 2x to a 1x?

[@themuddycyclist]

@@markemery6118 Loved the 1x, was important for me. I accept it has less range but less to maintain and/or go wrong was a no brainer for me.

Great vid mate, a nice way to document the boardman's last ride, always a great watch 👍

[@themuddycyclist]

Cheers Marc, will miss that bike, many happy memories.

Nice vid but you should climb the gate hinge side😁

[@themuddycyclist]

Oops, gate was fine, but will bear that in mind.

Amazes me how, with GPS and mobile phones, you manage to get lost / end up on a track that is not a right of way!

@@paulbutler1602 Only used my phone as a last resort, enjoy using my 'natural' sense of direction.

Which bike did you replace it with ...thanks

[@themuddycyclist]

I bought an Orro Terra C. Lovely bike, you’ll find videos about it on my channel if you’re interested.

@@themuddycyclist thank you. I am new to your channel and only watched the boardman videos so far.

@@stevenewart3873 Hope you enjoy the other 'stuff' 🤞

[@marklynn7531]

Is the Orro that much better than the Boardman?
