I just spent $100 on those gravel kings. Good to know I couldve saved $36. Then I walked out of the shop with a $200 bmx bike for my son so I couldve saved $236.

Thanks Tim. I may need to get 2 of those. I got one, and its great. super bright, pretty light, and a great mounting system that can go on various shapes from round handlebars, flat topped bars, even my helmet.

I have an older cygolite 850, but this is lighter, lower profile, and priced right! I love the way I can just strap it to my helmet (ymmv) or odd shaped handle bars. One for the helmet (for turns) and one for the bars (to give shadows and depth) and I'm happy!

Find any wheel deals out there? I'm looking for a front wheel 650b or 700c with 12x100 axle. Most seem to be 15x100

7Mesh MK2 Bib Shorts - $110
https://www.sigmasports.com/item/7Me...Bib-Short/F7MY

This is a very unique set of bibs and great for gravel IMO.

The padding is easily the thickest, most luxurious and most comfortable I've ever ridden, perfect for long days on rough roads. These are like riding in your rich uncles Cadillac. Front coverage is also better than anything out there.

They are not hot weather shorts at all. Thicker fabric and thicker pad, extra layer of fabric under the pad as a "hammock", etc., all conspire to make them very warm. I overheated in the heat of the summer once and will not wear them in warm weather. Perfect for cooler rides with leg warmers though.

I own these bibs but they no longer fit due to weight loss and I'm really looking forward to getting into another pair for the fall and spring. They are $200 everywhere and $110 is an amazing deal if you need cool weather bibs for long, gnarly gravel rides.

Castelli Nanoflex II bib knicker - $97.49
https://www.sigmasports.com/item/Cas...b-Knicker/9J3A
Size up!!!

Castelli Gabba 3 - Some Colors $95
https://www.sigmasports.com/item/Cas...ve-Jersey/FA2K

Castelli Free AR 4.1 Short Sleeve Jersey - $68
https://www.sigmasports.com/item/Cas...ve-Jersey/I4UM
This is a high-end hot weather race jersey at the lowest price I've ever seen.

Wow! But I don't see that it's double butted, it won't show full specs for me. Free shipping as well!!

I think it's safe to say it isn't double butted and probably weighs quite a bit. The bigger question is what size to get? Their chart puts me on a medium but the reach on a medium is 407mm! That's more than a lot of Large frames.

Here's one on Pedal Room a guy modded. He's fit 38's on it. Now I'm tempted, it even has front rack mounts.

It's a $299 bike lol. It's an all steel gravel bike with a Claris group. Obviously it's not going to be light. Replace those 30tpi cheapo tires with some nice ones and you'll probably drop off well over a pound.

Did this bike offend you or something? What's up with the attitude? If you don't like it don't freaking buy it.

30% off a nice TI bike! Lynskey has a sale where you use COMPLETE30 in the coupon area at check out and receive 30% off any complete bike. That could be some serious coin. They do seem to do this around November every year...

I just checked, and the coupon code works on top of that price, brought it down to $2390. That’s the base mech 105 package, but still very good price for a MUSA titanium frame. Tempting indeed!
