If gravel, what condition ? And how much ? (KMs).
I can't afford to lose anymore bolts, it snap another frame bolt.
Failing the above route, is Bishkek to Taraz worth the detour ?
TIA

As you already wrote in overall the roads in good conditions. Nothing to worry about if you driving some kind of adventure bike. There are some gravel in this area before Kazakhstan border near Kegen (Kaz side). All over way aroud the lake is good. Oskemen to ALmaty is most worst road in Kazakhstan (part near Sarkand and Ucharal). Near the same condition is the part to Astana from Almaty (near Balkhash lake).
