      To make any non suspension road-gravel bike a more comfortable and awesome one; install a redshift suspension seat post as they also make a bicycle stem with suspension capabilities and voila, a gravel and or road bike rider will have a more comfortable ride.

      I was at the moots factory in steamboat springs today and saw this exact routt 45 today. Truly a work of art. I was amazed that he did this kind of ride on a di2 equipped bike.

      Another amazing ride from Moots – so much skilled labor and top notch materials put into these frames – they are a thing of beauty !

      First theres what's called a bicycle, then a racing bike with thin wheels, then a bmx, a mountain bike that later divided into three categories. A hard tail, cross country, downhiller, fat tire, now theres gravel bike. Real men can easily spot why these once kids toys have evolved into so many categories, by L's

      I wonder if I live long enough to see these titanium bikes thrown by the trash cans like so many steel frame gems of the 90s these days. Electrification makes the classic bicycle fueled by human sweats and bananas seem outdated.

      You said you could increase the range of road groupset by putting a MTB derailleur on, I think a GRX rear mech would work with road shifters but unfortunately road shifters don't work with MTB derailleurs… I ran into this problem myself and I ended up buying 2 rear mechs and put a sram eagle cage on sram road rear mech and it works.

      HI, I mistakenly built a wheel with a 700C rim and a MTB hub for a Fuji Finest Racer I converted to a Gravel Bike. This was going to be a back up wheel for steep mountain rides. The axel will not fit into the Fuji but will fit nicely into my Iron Horse Mountain Bike. However, the Cantilever brakes pads will not reach the 700C rim. What can I do to fit this wheel into my converted Fuji Finest Racer? Should I cut the axel shorter or something else? I was unable to pry open the Reynolds 531 frame to ram the axel in. Thanks for any help.

      A titanium bike is just a dream to have. I don't care that steel is stiffer, carbon fiber is lighter and aluminum cheaper.

      It just like so damn sexy
