• Open UPPER Build

  I have the RD-RX815. I have only ridden the bike once and then the snow arrived, so my experience with this gearing is admittedly limited. However, I was able to ride short hills of 17% grade covered with wet leaves…

  I had previously posted a couple of times regarding frame choices (Parlee Chebacco versus Open UP) and then Enve G23 or DT Swiss CRC 1100 wheel sets. Both of these are now closed for additional comments, but I would…

• Enve G23 or DT Swiss CRC 1100 Spline 38T Wheelset?

  Thanks for both of your posts. SWGraveler, I am reassured by your comments as I am the same weight as you. This is what my LBS said about ENVE and why I was asking the question " enve no longer does anything but their…

• Enve G23 or DT Swiss CRC 1100 Spline 38T Wheelset?

  Hi - Looking for some help in deciding between two wheel sets for my Open UPPER build. I know both will be excellent. I was leaning toward to Enve G23, but some friends have expressed concern that everything is done in…

• Parlee Chebacco v. Open U.P.

  Very cool. Thanks, LewisQC. Other than always being interested in a Parlee bike, I had already investigated potential colour schemes for the Chebacco 6 or so months ago (through their online custom paint planner). As…

• Parlee Chebacco v. Open U.P.

  Thanks JGamm. I have a Lynskey Level 4 road bike, which has been my main ride for the past 10 years and so I certainly appreciate the ride quality of titanium. The two choices I came down to were more a result of…

• Parlee Chebacco v. Open U.P.

  I am looking at buying a more gravel/all-round bike next year and I have whittled my preferences down to the Parlee Chebacco (http://parleecycles.com/chebacco/) and the Open U.P. (https://opencycle.com/up). I currently…
