Riders,
Growing up I rode BMXs, in my 20s living in socal – it was mtn bikes. A little bit of XC riding in my early 30s. I took about 8 years off. Started 4 weeks ago. I bought two used bikes
1) 2018 carbon canondale Synpase/105z amazing condition . It’s getting the job done.
2) 2021 Giant revolt 1 /aluminum frame
I thought about upgrading each bike- not that 4 weeks into it, my endurance and speed are improving . But after weighing all the options and pros and cons , decided to turn the canondale into my indoor trainer. bike. The giant is actually just fine, and will serve as a good cruising around bike, when I pick with my kids and wife .
Thus after lots of test rides and research. So many amazing bikes to choose from and was torn between endurance and gravel, I went with gravel, but got one in the faster end of the spectrum .
So Pinarrelo Grevil F7/AXS it is . Bike will arrive in 10 days! Purchased with a 30% discount !
I will get carbon wheels and road tires for dual usage and eventually next spring get a dedicated endurance bike.

This is my gravel racing bike. Built like a tank, tire clearance enough to run XC tires, fully integrated cockpit for AeRo.
I’m eagerly waiting for Pinarello to update this frame for UDH.
You must be rich cause I can’t even pull the trigger on alloy Grizl let alone pinarello
