I love that bike, if you’re shopping for race machine only then there are better bikes for that. I like that I can also take that bike for bike packing due to many attachment threads throughout and the internal storage is pretty sweet.
I’m not sure if I’m ready to purely commit to a race bike. I need something more “all purpose “ I’m thinking of getting a Domane SL6 for my on road rides and a checkpoint for gravel (I usually ride Des Plaines River Trail but would like to give racing a try).
@@mxaexm I heard good things about Specialized Crux, Ridley Kanzo Fast, Canyon Grail, Salsa Warbird. Not sure if they are all better, depends on the components and overall weight. Also parts availability might play role. I like Trek as their headquarters are few hours away from me.
Keith “Bontrager” is pronounced “BontrayGRRR” not “Bontasuure”. He has gone so far as to mention it in his interviews… people try and get so fancy with his last name 😂😂
Awesomesauce! Great age-grouper result.
You had a great day for it
Awesome race. I’m shopping for the same bike to get into gravel racing.

Could you give me a few examples of “better” bikes for gravel/racing?
Thanks in advance.

My apology, I’m known to butcher lot of names
you need to get in the draft more consistently. Waisted power...
Yes, I think we started too far back on start line and could not catch up to the faster groups
@@SpokedTrails That aside. Great video.
