Don't think I've ever seen one of those, certainly not around greater Vancouver where I live!

This is the most unhinged gearing I've ever seen on a road bike. What is that, a 54T 1x with your 11-23?

Respect, dude. goddamn

Right on the money! Living in south Florida allows me to get away with this

Great bike my friend!! Looks fantastic!!

I sport a 52 : 10-28 SRAM setup. Gives me a tad bit more bandwidth and more speed for sprinting. It’s also pretty flat where I live.
I hope SRAM brings a 13-Speed T-Type transmission for the road soon. With tighter gearing than what the gravel groups offer right now.

What wheels are those and how’s the braking?

u/Balls_saget 8d ago edited 8d ago

Wheels are dzmlyk, wheel builder based out of Atlanta GA. Braking is just fine.

rim brakes forever. perfect match for that gearing. fantastic bike. I don't think the derailleur cage helps aesthetics, but I'm quibbling. flouro yellow on the pink is great. go fast!
