The single most greatest bike I have ever ridden. HANDS DOWN! This thing is what a barracuda, mixed with a dragon, with racing flames, and a B****in exhaust, would ride like if it were a bike.

Need I say more?...

Yes.

Because this think is that sweeeeeeeett. Be the coolest guy, on the group ride. With big ol fatty gravel tires, or some thin slicks. Want to shred some gnar after your morning latte. Then slap on some REAL big boy fatties, and a call it a day, (talking about them 2.1’s SON!)

This bike can do it all, and then some! I’ve never experienced true bliss on a bike, until I ridden this bad mamajama. The ride was so good, I climaxed twice the day I broke it in.

I hope my review was both insightful, and enjoyable. Now stop reading this, and go buy one!!!

Here she is when i was getting it built, she was so pretty, nice sized 700x40 mavic gravel tires, ive sinced swittched too slicks in the same size.

That Aldhu crank looks very sharp on the bike and matches with the wheels spot on. Well done!

Nice! Especially at 18g. Less than my bottle cage. :-)

Cool bike. So do you like it? hah

Get some better shots and some close ups but looks like a really smart build. With that range on the rear, any reason you didn't go with a 1x?

Nice build; was really tempted by one of these as a 4-season workhorse but let down because it doesn't have mudguard/fender mounts - absolutely essential for UK winters.

Looks good.

Except for the “3D name badge”.... but whatever does it for you.
