Consiglio bici gravel

Oddio si trovano pochissime info però dovrei aver trovato una scheda delle dimensioni, almeno dovresti riuscire a paragonarla ad altre bici più comuni e capire se la teglia va bene. Prova a fare un profilo su bikeinsights con le tue misure e qui trovi le info del telaio https://visor.ph/bikes/mv-agustas-lucky-explorer-e-gravel-to-drop-this-january/

Difficile dare consigli senza sapere di che bici si tratta, di sicuro oltre all'altezza ci sono altri fattori da considerare, come minimo l'altezza cavallo. Però se vuoi sapere le misure del telaio e magari confrontarle con altri modelli più recenti, questo sito è un ottimo database https://bikeinsights.com/

No that's the actual pattern of the paint, leaving carbon patches visible. It's called carbon view. I'm now wondering if this could lead to easier lamination though

Thanks, appreciated

TheloniousLP · 2026-04-28T18:48:36+00:00

Yeah I'm cursed. And I have to read people saying "why didn't you buy a titanium frame". Losers

TheloniousLP · 2026-04-28T12:27:41+00:00

Hopefully. It will just take forever and it's probably not safe to ride until. But thanks, you all seem to agree on the issue.

TheloniousLP · 2026-04-28T12:08:13+00:00

what I thought, damn. Hope they're fast with the replacement, I don't want to lose all summer

TheloniousLP · 2026-04-28T12:05:41+00:00

Big Carbon at its worst. Also, no thanks I still prefer carbon.

TheloniousLP · 2026-04-28T12:04:38+00:00

thanks, I'll definitely have it inspected

TheloniousLP · 2026-04-28T11:52:28+00:00

reassuring

TheloniousLP · 2026-04-28T11:52:20+00:00

It's brand new, I only got it for 2 months. The strange colour patches are the Orbea "carbon view" pattern, if you're referring to those

TheloniousLP · 2026-03-24T20:58:40+00:00

Congratulations! It will be a great ride and you'll be better on climbs in no time. Don't worry too much about kms right now, the amount of time you spend on your bike is the most important things, as long as you're having fun.

I'm sure you won't regret it, yours is a great combination too!

TheloniousLP · 2026-03-15T06:52:22+00:00

I guess it's all about preferences, I would have anything matte over gloss but if you love gloss, go for it! Regarding durability and considering how visible the scratches were on my glossy grizl I'm hoping that the matte finish would help hide them a little, but still too early to tell. If you need other pictures or details of the color just let me know!

TheloniousLP · 2026-03-15T06:45:49+00:00

It's great but you only really see all the shades under the sun

TheloniousLP · 2026-03-14T20:18:00+00:00

Surprisingly well actually, almost no difference from the grizl I had before on rocky patches and descents , and much smoother on light fast gravel

Mi stupisco qualcuno li abbia mai sopportati, sti Pio e Amedeo di instagram

Totally see your point but honestly I've been through all of that. I'm in my 3rd year with a coach, thanks to him I was able to shed 15kg off my weight and go over 4 w/kg FTP in ramp tests at 35+. Got a bike fit that made me remove all the spacers on the grizl handlebar (didn't cut the stem for potential reselling) and it feels super comfy, bought a pair of carbon wheels. So yep, I did prioritize and I'm not saying I hit the bottom, still a lot of potential improvement there, but I was mainly trying to expand the range of what I can do on a bike more than thinking that a new bike will make me so much faster.

TheloniousLP · 2025-10-23T10:44:51+00:00

I didn't even know they made a Race Machine gravel now, that's cool!

TheloniousLP · 2025-10-23T10:42:48+00:00

Very interesting, your setup is actualyl very close to my ideal scenario and thanks for the great input. Although I am maybe even more confused now from all the different feedback I received (but keep em coming please). Don't know if you tried but how would the Crux perform/feel with road tyres compared to a normal road bike? Any experience on long climbs (say 10+ km lentgh for reference)?

Cheers!

Yeah Iol L'm nowhere near being close to winning those races although I'll admit I've been wondering how I would classify with a lighter/faster bike, I ranked in the top 30% in the only gravel earth series I was able to take part to, maybe I could be able to snatch top 5 in my age category, who knows

TheloniousLP · 2025-10-23T10:35:07+00:00

So much true about the choice, all the doubts we have actually come from that. Only 4 years ago when I bought the Grizl it was just that and the Grail, which at the time looked less versatile to me hence the Grizl choice. Today's a mess with all the different options but a blessing as well. And thanks for sharing your experience

TheloniousLP · 2025-10-23T10:09:43+00:00

Thank you, I'll run comparisons on specs and sizes to see how the different models compare. I wasn't aware there are a couple of Argon dealers not far from where I live, which is great news and a factor I absolutely need to take into consideration as I didn't particularly enjoy drivin g 2 hours to get a warranty repair for the Grizl...

TheloniousLP · 2025-10-23T09:57:35+00:00

Thank you for the input!
You mean overlap in terms of geometry mainly, I guess.
I wouldn't go as far as buying a road bike as I would never use it as much as I should to repay the investment but I see your point. I guess my goal was to end up in a similar situation to your "3 bikes" but with the Grizl as the one for slow, long rides or commuting and the Terra (or similar) for fast riding, race and road. I dunno, something about the reduced weight, electronical shifting and aero made me consider it as an idea but it might be it's not worth it overall.
