Which of this bags I have need for hit this glavel?

Obviously Saddle bag type 13.

Is the collective choosing, finding and buying of hippy's next bike going to take us all the way through to the new year? I don't remember making time for this in the schedule.

The whole process seems very Sisyphean.

Sisyphean

Good metaphor for me climbing.

Also, he was a devious tyrant who killed visitors to show off his power.

idk sounds like you got solutions

That was way quicker than MTB buying.
What's everyone going to do over Christmas if they can't advise you on bike purchases?

" the low weight makes this an excellent climber"?!?!

finally

Yeah, but the MTB was done during covid when you couldn't get half the stuff and I'd not bought an MTB in 20 years so everything had changed. Whereas this one is basically, "how long do I have to wait before the bike I want appeared cheap enough for me to pull the trigger".

Until you put hippy on it.

Now the S-Works frames will appear half price. Damn those 150 extra grams!

Now, has anyone got a Di2 GRX groupset for sellz?

Which model did you get?

are you going 1x or 2x?

Did you actually just buy a Crux?
I'm not saying I don't believe it, but that email confirmation could be for a pair of socks...

Dibs everything that you remove to sell :)

The cheapest one. I'm only interested in the frame and spending an extra £2000 for the S-Works seemed silly.

2x

Better?

I might keep the wheels but I want Di2 and already have P2M cranks so I won't need:
shifters, cranks, deraillers, calipers and possibly cassette and saddle will go too.

thank fuck .. I have not read confidence inspiring things about crux and 2x but I am keen to see how you do this, wireless is piss easy of course.

Maybe we can chat gearing now @BareNecessities ?

Well they say you can't run road stuff on it, but I was going to run gravel crankset and GRX groupset so don't expect there to be much of a problem. If there's reduced clearance because of the FD, I may go to 1x but given I already have 2 sets of 2x cranks I'll probably just run skinnier tyres if that's the case.

Yep, gripshift or gtfo

All downhill from there.

is there a hole for FD cable though?

edit: there is
