Abou 9:19 t to install an Easton AX90 dropper post and 3d printed saddle on mine. And just ordered shimano GXR carbon wheelset. Cockpit and Sram etap are coming. I bought my Carbon Elite 2 weeks ago partly because of your first video. I love this thing
I'm a fan of GT, and love the looks of that gravel. GT riders are nearly like a brotherhood. I own six GTs plus many other bikes and can't handle any more but that one makes me think about it. Looking forward to your video's with that GT.
They are indeed loose, but the thin bar tape doesn’t help. Thicker tape, wrapped more closely fills in the gaps, and is more comfortable. I will replace the tape when I install my new fork.
Really enjoying your series of videos. As a BMXer from the 80s, I love me some GT. Do you think the triple triangle design will interfere with puttin on a frame bag? Or will it clear between the seat stays?
Same. I don't know if you remember the Bomb that GT made but that was my BMX. I've got to old to ride like that now so I just gave it away to a young fella that shows promise but I'll tell ya, it hurts but the joy this young fella has makes up for the hurt by a long shot. Is always nice hearing someone from the old school brotherhood
@@saddleweary2777 Unfortunately, BMX is one of those things we outgrow. I had a Schwinn Sting, I loved the chrome frame and blue anodized parts. I and my friends used to ride in the hills around the Brea dam in Orange County in Southern California. Unfortunately it's all concrete and McMansions today, but in those days it was a blast.
Your bike looks excellent! I have to admit I´m thinking of getting a leather chair to replace my beloved Bonty Selle San Marco (Old skool). Have you only tried on Brooks?
I replaced it with another B17. I used to scoff at Brooks too. But I can ride 200km on that saddle in complete comfort and not need padded cycing shorts.
A place to ride is the key. I'm lucky because I live close to a National forest close to the ocean with wind nearly 24/7. I bought one way back just to try and it has become one of my favorite bikes. Cruisers will ride the roads but is very slow along with mtn bikes, but I can cover a lot of miles with a gravel bike. They have gotten so expensive now if I had to do it again I think I would build up an old school cross over bike but if you anywhere with a lot of dirt miles I promise you it will change your mind.
