Re: Gravel Bikes

I know I'm late to the party on this one, but I just bought my first Gravel Bike. My only bike since 2009 or so has been a Mercier Kilo TT from BikesDirect that I've rebuilt a few times.

Re: Kitchen knife nerds- why basic carbons?

All of my Japanese slicers (razers) are SG2/R2. Anything that gets near a bone such as a Honesuki is a good blue/white carbon.
