New Bike Day, GT Grade Carbon Gravel Bike

[@tonybarrett7557]

This is inspiring. Need to get back on the bike after Land’s End to John o’ Groats several years ago. Thanks!

That's a ride I'd like to try,

I found this video while looking for ways to set up my grade for light (LIGHT) touring, some overnight or weekend trips. I can't wait to see how you get this bike set up for ultra endurance riding.

Wow, awesome you're doing the Tour divide! I first got wind of the race via the film in 2011 I guess. I hope you plan on documenting it as best you can 😃

[@twowheelsintokyo7039]

If you're going to go, you might as well go big. I'll definitely document it,

This is a fucking beautiful bike

[@aaronrockwell4862]

I just ordered the same bike should be here today. I have never owned a gravel bike before. I have a few high end full suspension mtb. I am sure i will be making upgrades to this bike but wanted to start with a good frame and couldn't beat the price of this bike

[@krismine99]

Cool, How's it been so far? I was thinking of picking it up. I mostly do Greenways and what not and the Mt Bike wouldn't be easily convertible to a Tri on the road and a road bike wouldn't be able to handle the mud and water that often coats the Greenway in addition to not being cross functional for light trail

[@benjaming.2218]

You mean 19LBS…or 9KG.

The frame is on my list to buy here in the US. Unfortunately it's unavailable until (? spring or late 2025 I was told ) who knows when. I have a Topstone fully functional and I just didn't want to buy the full bike with subpar parts just for the frame. I may regret it next year though. The new price for the frame may be more than the cost of this built up bike.... Who knows. Any thoughts ?

[@rustyshackleford988]

What tires are you goingbto run on the new wheels?

[@twowheelsintokyo7039]

That's a tough question, but right now I'm leaning toward the Conti Race King.
