      Beautiful bike, @ddtrash made in Steamboat Springs, CO!

      Think it, be it.

            I did my first ever gravel ride yesterday. Resolved about 5 miles in that I needed a real gravel bike! Thinking about doing a custom build on a Crust Evasion. Anyway, some shots:

                I've got a Crust Evasion in the works from a semi-local shop. Meanwhile I'm already accessorizing with a new bag from Ronnie Romance:

                    @Brock This rig is dialed! Ronnie Romance would approve. How do you find the Fabio's Chest? Bounce factor negligible with that front rack? I have always had my eye on one.

                      The weather is shifting to board sports, but still jonesing for two wheels.

                        @dsco thank you. It’s even more dialed now days I think…

                        The Fabio’s chest is definitely the IH of the bike bag world. And with a rack for support is solid. However when fully loaded and riding on the rough stuff I do worry about my carbon fork! 😬

                        Here’s a couple recent pics of my smeltzer

                          Some really nice bikes! Here’s my Richard Sachs cross bike used as my gravel grinder.

                            @Brock those purple accents 🙌🙌. You weren't kidding, that is dialed. Looks like some beauty landscape to explore as well!

                              @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!
