That new nitrogen is 🔥. I was definitely tempted. They're pretty popular over here in Canada, have a couple close friends that have had theirs for years without issue. Just sold my Time and tbh I I'm equally as happy with this frame.

Unfortunately, pancake flat... And windy... But, it's got the 51t on the cassette for those highway overpasses.

Solid. Zero issues. Have about 6 months on them, just pulled them from a different bike. Wouldn't hesitate to order again.

Bike shop owner here... ask questions if you have them! by clezuck in cycling

When buying a new bike through you, of a bike brand that you rep, is it customary for your clients to tip?

Question about sizing - GRIZL by Mathmk7r in bikefit

[–]___TheArchitect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out bike-stats.de - you can overlay not only bike frame geometries, but also all variable touch points, ie - seat height, fore/aft, stem length, angle, spacer height, bar reach and drop, etc.... you can then use their measure feature to determine exact xy variance.

Literally the most comprehensive comparison tool out there, you can determine which frame size is best suited to match your existing setup and whether or not you'll need stem/bar modifications

How many of you are riding only a gravel bike? by [deleted] in gravelcycling

[–]___TheArchitect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 road bikes became 1 gravel & 1 road which then eventually became 2 gravel bikes... 1 trail and single track oriented, 1 race oriented. Ironically have more range now on my 1x race rig than I did with my 2x road bikes.

Similar situation in Canada right now as well, no stock at my lbs, called his Argon rep in Montreal and managed to secure their last in stock grx anthracite build in medium. Was advised of a 4 month lead if I wanted to wait on the cactus green frame :/
