Hi you all. This is my first post on here. I have a question about the new Stigmata . I can't find any reviews yet about it. I understand it's a new bike. I'm planning on buy the frame and equipped it with Shimano new GRX. Anyone had the chance to ride that bike or owns it? What are your thoughts? Also the Rival entry level build kit seems a pretty decent deal. Thank you from North Florida
Thanks guys. I will check the Radavist. I should get the bike in a couple of weeks and I will post pics and thoughts about it. My only concern is the weight of the bike/frame. I'm currently riding a Specialized Crux Elite 2019 at 18.1 lb with pedals. The Stigmata frameset for what I understand is a little bit heavier since it is a real Gravel bike compared to my CX Crux.
Thank you. The guys at Contender Bycicles Helped me with components choice and building. Very happy with their customer service, great people and very knowledgeable.

I had to wait for about a month because my size( 52) wasn't available. I haven't ridden it yet. I will let you know what I think compared to my Specialized Crux.
I demo'd a green 2020 Stigmata in the Marin Headlands recently. Honestly really liked it -- I can see buying this bike. Lightweight, pretty lively, good balance of stability with speed, and a competitive price point (for the GRX kit I have in mind).
For very long rides and bikepacking it might not be the best choice around, but personally I don't really do so much of that.
The green color is unimpressive... Would definitely opt for the yellow unless you intentionally want a stealthy bike.
Finally project completed. Stigmatacc GRX with I9 wheelset and Gravelking. 18.1 lb
