@p0is0n0ak , I hadn't heard of it before you mentioned it, but that thing just looks like it would be comfortable lol. I definitely plan on checking this one out further, thanks!
I know this is a very personal thing, but I am also looking for recommendations on saddles. I used to have a Pro Stealth on my Domane when I had it and like that, so I am considering giving the Pro Stealth Offroad a…
Cool, I will check them out once I move to the groupset stage. I signed up for the 38 miler since I can't say for certain my bike will be done by then with everything going on right now. I will ride it on my mountain…
Thanks @p0is0n0ak , good stuff all around. I have my heart pretty set on the SRAM build for the reasons you outlined and others. Availability is pretty much the only thing that will force me in the Ekar direction…

Thank you @Pipeliner and @spinergypaul , really helpful info. The Hunt sets I have been looking at are lightweight alloy stuff, and they are all under $900, but that's helpful to know, so thank you. Paul, Spinergy is…

Whatever happened to wheel brands like Boyd and Reynolds? I remember they where big deals once upon a time and major players in that second tier behind the likes of Enve, Zipp, and Shimano, etc. Are they still making…

Hi all, I am just getting started on this (frame arrived yesterday). Given that I have a dedicated road bike and MTB that I really enjoy, I am planning to go a little crazy with this build and may possibly run the good…
It's not technically a gravel bike, but you can definitely fit those ring combos and 35mm tires on a Trek Domane. My guess is you could probably do the same on a Specialized Diverge or Giant Revolt Advanced.
Found it and 40mm tires definitely fit. https://www.bikehub.co.za/features/_/gear/insight/bike-check-gravel-bikes-of-tour-de-braai-r6986
No problem at all. The Canyon Inflite definitely looks like it could be a winner as well given your assessment and my recent experience with the Crux. Thanks for sharing. I would love to some pics of one with gravel…
To each his/her own. I have no doubt in my mind that there will be someone out there that loves each of these bikes. They are all good. Given that, try them back to back I say and get the one you like best/can afford.

Here's some additional information on the weight on the two versions of the Diverge for those that are considering it as a potential option: Here's a nice Red Etap 1x build someone built up to 17lbs. That's as light as…
Thanks! I have really enjoyed my Domane, but I am looking forward to the change. There is a ton of good mixed terrain and gravel riding out near where I live, so having the ability to add wider tires while still getting…
https://road.cc/content/review/221625-reilly-gradient-2017-graveladventure-bike?amp It looks like Road.cc did a review a year or so ago and discussed the weight. It looks like a complete bike is around 9.3kg.
The S-Works Diverge frameset comes in this color and stealth black. Not sure which way I want to go yet.…
