Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

Ha! Well they work and that’s all that matters

forest floor soft but dry type stuff.

Loam

That’s the stuff

people who use a fizik saddle on a gravel bike, i can't trust them, it's like seeing adidas with nike for my brain

Oh no brand synergy has come to cycling

I’m waiting for my Carbonda CF696 to arrive from the factory in China. Cost £636 for frame, fork, seatpost, custom paint job, shipping and taxes.

Same frame as the new Bomtrack hook EXT and Ridley gravel bike to name but a few.

That's probably the hardest a gravel bike will ever be ridden.. Fair to say he seemed to know that trail quite well, interesting to see the difference in lines

Was that straight off the site?

That Firefly: "I bought all the cool parts the internet told me to, but why is my bike so uncool?"

They could have at least bought the right sized frame

Yeah, you just email them through the site, they are very responsive. There is an epic thread on a gravel forum with peoples experiences. I went for a chameleon paint job but you can do full custom, logos etc if you want.

I would buy that (again)

Thanks, I’ve emailed them. Is it a long wait, I’ve read about problems at customs etc? Looks worth the wait though

Why have they left the warning sticker on the cranks...sloppy

On the 14th March I was told the frame would be available at the end of the month, then 3-4 weeks for painting then the delivery times below. I paid on the 18th and they sent me a pic of my painted frame on the 29th! I did say I would take some studio pictures of the frame if they could speed up the process at all (I'm a photographer). I went for 15-35 day tax free and have a tracking link but it's not arrived yet.

3-10 day is DHL or fedex ,You have to pay import duty, but you can choose the value of customs declaration.
15-35 day ,tax free is WXY , WXY will advance the tax, and when it arrives in the UK, it will be sent to you directly by DPD.

But Richard Sachs does it so it must be cool

Maybe it was what they used to colour match the bottom half of the frame, did such a great job, come piccy time it just blended in?

Really helpful, thanks

$10 extra for the dynamo routing in the fork, so cheap. I was going to get a third bottle boss on the downtube (why not) but it would have taken longer so I gave it a miss.

For anyone interested in other stuff, they emailed a spreadsheet with prices

I went for 15-35 day tax free

I’d be interested to know how that works, if it’s anything other than you’ve paid the vat etc up front.

Literally never heard of him.
