Specialized Sequoia - (The Limited Jim Merz Edition)

Took a spin with Omar to do some gravel/dirt riding. Omar doesn't have a gravel bike. However, he does have a bad ass limited edition (Only 200 made) Specialized Sequoia Jim Merz Edition, in collaboration with Erik Nohlin, touring bike that 's totally capable. We spent some time exploring the trails of Sunol Regional Wilderness Park and took some bangers.

no 191 here. Drives and feels better every day. And the looks doesn’t get boring - makes me happy everday. For the parts on it, I think it was too expensive, but if you count in the design and love somebody put into it, it‘s a bargain. The last bike I bought in this life.

[@nonchalantgarage]

It's timeless. Enjoy your ride

[@ridesofjapan]

So smooooth! 😎
Beautiful bike, and yay on the Gravelking love 💘

[@nonchalantgarage]

Gravel kings might have to be my next pair of shoes. Cheers!

The sequoia is definitely the banger of the adventure line up. I have the 52 and i believe the hta comes in at 70.2. This thing shreds the trails! The rear hub is the only thing on this bike that doesn't make me smile.

[@nonchalantgarage]

Yep, I think it's underrated. It's not until you ride it that you realize its potential.

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

Sweet bike!

[@nonchalantgarage]

Cheers! The details are well thought out.

[@sergiografbike]

Yes!!! SUPLLE RIDE!!

[@nonchalantgarage]

Cheers to that. Smooth is fast

[@wayofthehike]

Whoah, pretty sure I met Omar when I bought my own Sequoia from Mikes Bikes in Pleasanton.

[@nonchalantgarage]

Omar has all the good qualities of a bike salesman. Involved in community, knowledge of the industry, and above all, rides bikes!

[@havefunandbikestuff]

She’s a beauty

[@msc9374]

Great video.

[@nonchalantgarage]

Thanks mate.

[@HappyCarlsonsTV]

Awesome bike

[@msc9374]

I’m looking for 1 bike that will cover everything, single track, gravel and some road. Can you do a video on a intermediate adventure bike less than $2000 ?

[@nonchalantgarage]

Hey! you might want to check out @pathlesspedaled channel. He actually left a comment on this video. He does a lot of reviews in the adventure gravel scene. I currently don't have access to a shop to let me review a bunch of bikes but I can get Omar to chime in as he works at a dealer. Cheers!

[@jestemkwita]

Saddle is from Spec or this is Brooks? And it's comfortable?

[@nonchalantgarage]

Saddle came with the bike and it’s comfortable!

[@604rioso]

Does Omar have a youtube channel?

[@nonchalantgarage]

Don’t think so

[@nonchalantgarage]

What are your thoughts on the specialized sequoia?

[@havefunandbikestuff]

I own it. I dig it. It's more fun tubeless as well
