          But further to your point, I was chatting with H last night and thanked him for the amazing SS21 collection that he put together and thus making our job easy.  He commented, and really this is so true, it's not just the product that makes us good at the moment, it is our ability to make and deliver in a timely fashion.  One of our goals 13 months ago was to at least give the appearance to our customer base that Covid was not screwing our ability to deliver effectively as normal….

                  Nice Ride!

                  Here is mine with street and cross wheels. Really like the diversity of modern gravel geometry.

                  Enjoy ya addiction!

                    Thanks @zhivago and @Jordan23! That Ridley is rad. Reminds me of the 3T Exploro and two wheelsets. I love the multidimensional nature of gravel bikes and wide range of uses. Stoked to hit trails and shred on some paved stuff with this.

                      @Jordan23 super nice bike! Curious how long it takes you to swap both wheels. Is it quick/easy enough that it wouldn’t be a burden if you did street and cross rides the same week?

                      The journey is the objective.

                          I had a Yakima rack that did a little cosmetic damage to my frame and decided to get a platform rack. I really like this rack (Küat NV 2.0) with a handful of minor critiques: 1) in addition to the convenient integrated cable locks, I'm surprised there isn't a way to lock the arm that secures the front wheel, or at least that it isn't drilled out for users to add security 2) the tightener for the hitch seems a bit dangerously exposed to potential impacts when going off-road 3) though you can adjust the height of the front wheel holder to mitigate bikes touching one another, I would feel better about the platforms being staggered a bit 4) there is no security for the convenient integrated repair stand, so I keep it in the car in case it's needed on the trail

                          To be fair, 2 and 3 are possibly not real issues–guess we'll see.

                          Think it, be it.

                            Thanks @Jordan23 .

                            Ah ok, I thought that only the front wheel was easily exchangeable while the rear one was more involved due to the chain and gears. Whenever I see bikes chained to a lightpost in cities/unis it is always the front wheel which is threaded with the chain, as if the rear one weren’t easily removed

                            The journey is the objective.

                                Gorgeous bike @BloodnThunder I really regret having sold my Team Soloist.

                                Did a "quick" after work MTB ride last night on some very vertical chunk. I wish I had stopped for pictures because it was gorgeous and only 20 minutes by car from my house. But as it was it was getting dark by the time we got back to the trailhead.

                                Not gonna pretend I shredded it like this guy but here it is (this guy is an excellent follow on YouTube and Instagram if you like mountain biking):

                                  Thanks @mclaincausey!  Cervelo makes a great bike.  With how hard it is to get a bike these days I bet that Team Soloist would go for a pretty penny now.

                                    My Pinion frame has arrived from the factory.  looking forward to building this one up

                                    There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                                      How much do you think this build is going to end up weighing? The Pinion drives look very robust, which usually leads to a bit of compromise on weight.

                                        Hell yeah @ddtrash I can't wait to see the final build and hear how she rides! Geared MTBs are the future IMO.

                                          Took my Scott on its first 100 miler today, really fun.

                                            @Nkwkfld it's insanely fast and a blast to race.  All the bike wants to do is go fast so easy rides are a struggle on it.  It's definitely not a bike I would recommend if comfort is a concern as the frame is effectively a TT frame with drop bars.  I also own a Cervelo S3 and R5 and it is significantly more aggressive and stiff than either of those.
