Tobin + Chris is the team we need 🙌

🥰

Feels like the trek checkpoint. I have the 2019 stiggy. Love it

[@connerkuhns5438]

Sweet looking bike!

[@mikesbikes]

heck yea brother.

[@Vam1500]

Looks awesome! Love the color. Could I put my GRX Di2 2x groupset on it? I guess I would need a band type front derailleur clamp.

[@adrianc6534]

SC makes a front derailleur mount for it

[@Pyndle]

Would that work for adventure cycling with paniers / 130kg of gear+rider?

[@AOL0321]

Nice review. It seems like it’s basically a HT Mtn bike with 700c wheels? How does it compare to say an Ibis Hakka MX which has a more traditional racing frame geometry?

[@billysimmons3061]

Are there no top tube bag bosses?

[@nomadtrails]

UA-cam, should I grab a stigmata or a Lauf Seigla?

[@stephenvogel4647]

One of these staches is not like the other

[@mikesbikes]

Doctor, as you know.... its not the size that matters.

[@charlesmansplaining]

For even better stability I stay with a flatbar bike.

[@mikesbikes]

Flat bar gravel for president.

[@drscre]

With the MTB-like geometry this is clearly not a race bike (pros don't count, and they downsize anyway to get an aero position), rather than an average joe's gravel/adventure bike.
With this in mind, where are the fork/rack/top tube luggage MOUNTS? Damn, the frameset is porky 1.87kg already, a few more mount points doesn't change anything.

[@blakevk]

But WHY no GRX or XT or anything else other than Sram???

[@mikesbikes]

Business reasons - more reliable supply, less sku's to manage, etc.

[@txmale5070]

still to expensive for most people.

[@edrozenberg]

Thanks for the video! The popping sound effect every few seconds - please no. Sounds like a computer error/warning over and over. Super annoying. The video stands on its own without needing this "noise dressing”. The “popup videos” with the text bubbles from the 80s sucked and we don’t need more popup noises during videos.

[@60westpro]

Same tube shapes - no internal cable routing and a bunch of handling jargon “the bike is super planted” lol-- what’s the point of the new Stigmata if it aesthetically looks the exact same with a basic paint job -- now comes with fender mounts - you know they make color tvs now too --

[@LOZUPONEJ]

Same old marketing words on a new bike.

[@mikesbikes]

yea- you tell'm.

[@lazyac_]

fake, front brake hose is inner the fork so cannot swap it easily, and not enough eyelets for touring, it handle bags likes any other bike.

[@lazyac_]

i still prefer my XC and a proper touring bike and a road race bike.

[@rcg9573]

No way that bike is going to steer well with that silly slack headtube and massive trail figure. But good sales try. 🙂

[@simonfarr8670]

I don’t know, gravel descent KOMs with a 1110mm wheelbase sure are easy…

[@mikesbikes]

Yeah, you're probably right. I doubt they rode it or tested it. Wanna buy one tho?

[@adrianc6534]

must be why people are already winning big gravel races with it

[@IIISentorIII]

@@mikesbikes give that man a break, he obviously is the *Expert* in the field. 🤣
