Have to disagree
With my legs, Barhatch Lane aka Winterfold Hill reaches over 21%
Did Wrynose last year - 30%
I would never get up these with 11-28

To be honest we don't have a vast selection to choose from....

Well there's Leith Hill, White Down,Ranmore Common, Combe Bottom, Barhatch Lane, Staple's Lane, Newlabds Corner
We don't always have the length but there are some tough gradients there

Hi again,
Just in case it's not possible to find a 2016 Kona Roadhouse in the OP's size and if the 2017 model is now beyond budget following it's component upgrade but price increase to £3,500 (I think) one option in between might be the Fairlight Strael.
Admittedly it's more expensive than the 2016 Roadhouse which had an RRP of £1,800 but can now be seen for roughly £1,300 to £1,500
The Fairlight Strael is available in different builds from £1,850 to £3,000
I've not had time to look into the geometry and so I don't know if it's a relaxed audax / endurance type geometry or whether it's more racy but maybe it's something to think about if it doesn't completely break the bank / budget because unfortunately it's not a cheap bargain option.
