Thank you for all the feedback guys!! I think right now my top choices are the Torreno Dry and the Byway from your guys suggestions. I'm going to talk with some local gravel grinders to see what they are using around…

I've just purchased a Revolt Advanced 2 and its absolutely amazing. I tested out 8 different gravel bikes, and the Revolt blew them all away, and was also the best value. Now I just need to decide if I'm going to…
What are your guys thoughts on the Vittoria's newish Terreno Zero? https://www.vittoria.com/us/terreno-zero-cx-and-gravel.html I'll be riding about 50% gravel 50% road. The gravel around here is fairly hard packed and…
Looking to get a frame bag, top tube bag and eventually seatpack for longer gravel rides on my 2020 Giant Revolt Advanced 2. Wondering if anyone has any of Axiom's Oceanweave series as they look and feel fantastic,…
What's your budget?

Hey gang, Thanks again for your help with my last post. It helped me narrow down my bike choice to the 2020 Giant Revolt Advanced 2. However, yesterday Giant announced they’re releasing an Aluminum version for the 2020…

Well I've decided it would be best to head to an out of town bike shop that has both the Revolt Advanced AND Trek Checkpoints in stock to test out and ride back to back. That way I think I'll have a good idea of what…
