Let me introduce my new rig 🚵! This @norcobicycles #searchXR replaced my beloved @konabikes #libre that was stolen over the summer😢 The upside of this change was for me unexpected: it took days, nights with insomnia to find a replacement bike. What brand? What identity or soul? What geometry? Which components? During all this search I learned a lot of things. Most important take aways: - #Geometryiskey - Carbon can be comfortable if properly designed and built - While I am mostly riding #gravel, I actually was more looking for a #do-it-all bike, able to perform on #gravel, #road and some #MTB, but also to take me on #bike-packing trips as well as commuting (luxury commuter though 😉) And this one does it all, and actually damn fast, faster than my previous one! I am gifted! @norcobicycles #searchXR #searchXRC @maviccycling #AllroadProSLCarbon @selle_italia #slr @rideshimano #grx @topeak @eastoncycling #EC90AX @kindshock @camelbak @garmin #fenix6xsaphire #edge830 #beatyesterday #bikeislife @milkit_bike @clearprotect @julbo_eyewear @bellbikehelmets @globalcyclingnetwork @gorewear @ritcheylogic #bartape #titaniumscrews @r2bike_official @dtswiss #rws @cafeducycliste @gopro #max #hero7black #hero5session @rapha @schickemuetze @wattwerk @bikecomponents (à Valkenswaard) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU9dC9po9UI/?utm_medium=tumblr
