Jenson has the green 2016 Niner RLT 2 star for $1500 right now. Same price and way better spec'd (with thru axles).
Thanks for the write up Josh! Very interesting. \n \nI'm surprised by the Slate and the 1x. King seems like a cool guy. He's got a nice recap on his blog now. Good read. Also JOM (gravel cyclist) should have a video up…
Thanks! See I love hearing about that stuff. Still waiting on an interview with King. \n \nAlso, I can't help but think this post had something to do with this poster.
The Bulls also has Thru axles front and rear and they are offering 5% off right now. Seriously considering one. Gravel cyclist did a review for Bike Rumor and seemed to really like it.
Thank you for your input Guitar Ted. Also, I love the podcasts, keep them coming. \n \nYou are right, it is not something you see cycling wide. I find it to be interesting though. I wouldn't have guessed Surleys finish…
Also very interested in this bike. Looking for some real-world feedback.
But that's the thing Architect; we don't know what those "dozens" of bikes are. Are they the few bikes that keep getting discussed in the "Bikes" forum (e.g., GT Grade, Jamis Renegade, Salsa Warbird, Niner RLT, etc.) or…
The Bulls Grinder 1 has the same exact spec for $1700 and with Ultegra for $2100. I don't have real-world experience with either.
Steel, Carbon fork, Ultegra and full hydros for $2000. Seems like the best deal I've ever seen. More here:http://www.bikerumor.com/2016/04/25/soc16-new-breezer-inversion-flips-gravel-switch/#more-128000
It might not matter to you but if 50% of finishers are riding a certain bike that is valuable information. Maybe knowing which bike people ride would have the opposite effect of what you think. We might find out that…
It seems to me like manufacturers are missing out on a huge opportunity here. As you can see by these forums and the huge increase in attendance at these events, there is clearly a lot of interest in gravel racing. So…
Also interested in the X-trail but concerned about size. 5'10" with a 31.5 inseam probably going for the medium. Thanks for the charts above.
Originally I was looking at a steel Niner RLT 9 for gravel grinding duty but have started to branch out to other bikes with similar prices. For $49 more than the steel RLT 9 MSRP you get a carbon frame, internal cable…
