Gravel bikes - what do you have and where did you buy it?

[Danger Dassie]

Canyon do a nice split seatpost that offers a degree of flex and comfort, not sure if it's available as a stand alone item though.

Merida also do a flex seatpost that works well and looks good.

Yeah yeah, I know

I see the Spank bars are pretty popular. Who sells them locally?

[Monark]

The agent sells them directly off their website - i think its international trade. They were delivered to me in 3 days. Win.

I got mine from www.custombikes.co.za, also received it within 2 or 3 days.

The Canyon ones are available separately but they are damn expensive:

I bought the Momsen Comfort Seatpost for my Stigmata and it's really great. It's carbon and ovalised near the top so quite flexy. Not noticeable on the road, but definitely more compliant on the rough stuff. Was only R950 from TWT.

This is the International Trade website... It has lots of really pretty pikey bling goodies!

Yes it works really well, especially on the Momsen R355 gravel bike

Imagine pinching the inside of your thigh in that when it flexes.

Fokkit, have you seen what a Reverb AXS costs? My gravel bike stuff feels cheap compared to what I’ve been brainwashed into spending on my trail bike!

Don’t even joke, my Diverge (albeit on special) cost as much as a Pike ????
