    @dsco thanks man! I’m pretty happy with it lately. One of my favorite things about bikes is how they can be ever evolving…

    How are you liking those supper yummys? I love everything that Simworks does.

    The cavas that I’m running currently are great on pavement and gravel but a little squirrely on hard packed dirt and loamy surfaces

      Very cool frame! And I dig the Paul Cantilevers!
      I’ve been eying those for my wife’s Bridgestone

            @Brock oh man, the tinkering never ends, which is part of the fun too! The super yummy's have been fantastic all around. So much so that I will getting a set for my more single track focused rig when the stock recons run their life cycle. And as you said, I just love what sim works does. Fun to support outfits like that!

                  Very cool rig! I especially love the velocity wheels and supper yummys!

                    Thanks! I had to go hand-built for the wheels to get them in silver. The aesthetic we were going for was 1994 mountain bike.

                    Planning to find some gravel roads with my buddy in NJ this weekend and I can't wait.

                      Love the Smeltzer. There is something about the aesthetic of skinny steel tubes, horizontal top bars and fat tires that speaks to me.

                      @Denimhead-0
                      We share some of the same bikes. Also ride a RS (and have ridden with Richie a few times) and a couple Rivs, EM etc.

                              Anyone have any recommendation for brands they like for jerseys, bibs, etc.?

                                @setandsetting IMO, Assos is the best out there.

                                  @setandsetting I have tried several brands and concerning jerseys, to me, they are all similar. I like the style of Pas Normal Studios, but there are many others like MAAP, Rapha, Castelli, Assos.
                                  For Bibs, it's very individual and that's where I would spend rather good money. If you can, try some that fit your ass.

                                    @Dmart Excellent point and I had to go through a lot of trial and error to find the right bibs. What felt good for me doing a 20 miler was not the same as a hundred miler. The Assos works for me especially using their chamois cream.

                                      @goosehd I have one Assos which I really like. expensive but worth it, especially after 100 miles...

                                        Thanks for the recommendations guys. I had bought some less expensive Bontrager, REI, and Pearl Izumi stuff and I'm looking to try something a little nicer especially on the bibs side. I went on a not crazy gravel ride yesterday (27 miles) and despite the Pearl Izumi chamois I was wearing my taint got a little rubbed the wrong way. (To be fair I am still breaking in a Brooks saddle.)
