upgraded from a pretty old random MTB, and I'm in love! Still gotta get used to the handle and driving with clicks, but it feels much more efficient! I'm really happy with it and look forward to my future adventures
Years ago, I saw this titanium Budnitz bike and fell in love but at the time, could not even dream of affording it. The company has since gone out of business but I still think of this as a "forever" bike. The swoopy titanium frame, belt drive, drop bars and Rohloff hub. Where do I start? Who makes a swoopy titanium frame? Any advice?
Upgraded from a 15 year old Salsa Vaya last fall. This steed is in an entirely different category of capability and speed.
I bought Kona Rove DL few days ago and rock it on 100km - 60/40 gravel-road trip. I love it. Awesome bike
Have spent a not insignificant amount of time debating which gravel bike would be my first. Ended up going with the Specialized Diverge 4 with Di2. Took it for a quick spin after setup and this thing is RAPID (at least compared to my XC bike). The front spring does make my position quite upright if I’m not in the drops but on balance I find it very easy to get comfortable and strongly positioned. This weekend is going to be a blast!
I’ve been a runner for a while and wanted to get into cycling. Found a Giant revolt for $400 on FB marketplace. Can’t wait to ride it!
it looks like I will have to shorten the cables some more (running very wide bars) but its coming along
I did my first out in the wild gravel ride today! I'm very new to cycling, got my new to me bike at the end of December & have done over 650k on Zwift with the trainer, and probably about 100k on paved trails, but today was my first acual gravel ride!
Mistakes were definitely made, but I am overall happy with my 14.5k that was all gravel (except for a couple of wood bridges), and can't wait to get out again!
Bought a Checkpoint ALR3 today. I used to ride a road bike (emonda alr) like 5ish years ago.
Took it for a pretty short ride today, maybe about 5 miles through a pretty urban area. MAN IS IT FUN. To be able to ride fast and get yourself up over a curb or on the side walk when needed is a major advantage. And it’s plenty fast (may upgrade the chain ring to a 42 to get just a little more speed)
Only question- I was deciding between this and the ALR4. What ultimately landed me on this bike was a 2 month wait for another 4 to come around (June ish). I also think the color on the 3 is significantly better, tho the green is decent on the 4. But this burgundy is GORGEOUS
I have 30 days to ride around and decide. One thing to note is I don’t think it’s totally out of the question for me to fall in love with gravel cycling and actually end up upgrading to a carbon fiber model at some point
Been considering a new do it all gravel frame to build up. This will be my 1 bike for mainly commuting and longer weekend gravel trail rides.
It's quite hilly around me so I want something as light and nimble as possible. The other option would be a crux (are the rumours true about a new model coming soon?), convince me why that would be a better idea.
Well, almost. This big chunk peeled off the rock wall in the background and I had to lean my bike up and take a picture.
7.8 kg with ekar reliable shifting - don´t worry just ride :-)
Looking for a similar style seat but brown to match bar wrap, any suggestions?
Anyone know of a solid chrome fender that fits the Kona rove DL.
