Crust bikes comes to mind. I have their 650b “gravel” bike… the Bombora. They have several others. Surly does. Kona does.I actually prefer 650b as a wheel size, and there was a time when Rivendell was pushing that size hard and designing frames around it. Now, I’m sized out of Rivendell’s 650b

I don’t know about a bike dedicated to 650B in all sizes but some smaller Rivs come as a 650B and the Susie is 650B… but what is a gravel bike, after all, but a bike ridden on gravel or hard-pack dirt roads? I would classify most of the bikes made by Riv as gravel or gravel adjacent. They’ve

2023-07-01 Thread George Schick

I have a Small Saddlesack (the model before the current bag boy, I believe). It was purchased brand new and has sat for pretty much the entire time I've owned it. It was on my bike for maybe a week, with a rack underneath. See pics: https://photos.app.goo.gl/vLUyCfWoX4JE122z9 $120 Shipped

I bought this last summer to use as a ligthweight packable jacket but I just don't like the fit. Its under 6 oz., a really nice color, stretchy, and really good in the rain. Not a full Gore Tex rainshell (hence partial), but really great for warm weather, bikepacking, and travel. Here are
