Love this bike! Long time mountain biker, but love to jump on this thing when I want to go fast! Compared to my relatively long/slack mountain bike, this thing feels frantic and twitchy, and I’m all for it! 😂
Swapped out my Panaracer X1’s for some Panaracer X1’s 😂 love the black tyres much more, looks less classic and more racey in my opinion! What do you think!? Sizes are 700x45 on both sets, tan walls are the lighter R line version, black walls are regular ones. Last pic was the inevitable roll through dog poo after fitting the new black walls! 😂
Loving my new ex demo Marin Headlands 2 custom shop build! My first drop bar bike!
-GRX820 Groupset -Giant CXR1 35mm carbon wheelset -Panaracer Gravelking X1 R 45mm tyres -Flat pedals! 🤪 (I’m a MTBr of 25years on flats)
I definitely look like a mountain biker on a gravel bike at the minute, but I’m sure the more I get into gravel, the more I will end up in gravel attire! Not sure I can do Lycra, but maybe some more fitted kit and a helmet without a peak!?? Or does it really even matter!!??
Extra water bottle on order!
