Lauf Seigla rigid with the Race Transmission build option. Came super quick in the mail. Built it up last night after work in 30 min – super easy.
First ride this morning felt amazing – I’m stoked on the bike.
I will move over a sqlab wave saddle from another bike, but otherwise keeping everything stock. I have been looking for a gravel bike for a while and whoever posted their seigla on here a few weeks back totally influenced me :).
Taking the bike out for a local scramble-style gravel race this weekend, which should be a blast.

Looks absolutely rad!!! What made you go with the rigid instead of the grit fork? What’s your sizing like?
I live in Redding, CA and mostly mountain bike. I have been riding more road and gravel to get more zone two work into my fitness schedule so I wanted to upgrade my gravel bike. My MTB is a Santa Cruz Blur, so I wanted a gravel bike that was more optimized for speed and weight.
I found the pricing on the Lauf really compelling. Not having any existing basis for comparison beyond the reviews I read, and knowing whatever new bike I got was going to be a huge upgrade, I was struggling to commit to any single bike.
With saddle bag and water bottles I think it’s weighing in around 21lbs.
Haven’t gone tubeless yet, but running the stock continental tires at 25psi felt great on slightly wet single track (decomposed granite, rocks and roots).
