It’s speed puts a smile on my face every time I ride it. only reason it’s stood for 3 weeks is an otb on my mtb and some bloody sore metacarpal bones. I love love love this bike .

In pics it looks out of proportion and a bit weird - in the flesh it is amazing. I placed my order after working on a customer's 3T. The quality is seriously impressive - paint is perfect, all the holes for calipers/water bottles etc are precisely machined, the thru axles are designed nicely to integrate into the frame. The Ridley Kanzo FAST was my first option but after seeing the 3T I placed the order. The only issue I have with the bike is the cable entry just behind the stem. It is pretty messy.... peetwindhoek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with Danish winters is that they salt the roads - the salt combined with the fine coastal sand we have here is not great for bikes!! I ordered the GRX version below - the upgrades have already arrived - new crank and wheels.

Absolutely agree whole heartedly . The entry behind the stem fades quickly and you don’t even notice it . The versatility , quality and flat out speed more than compensate for this less than perfect solution. Sid the Sloth and Eldron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least if you run 32 tyres you will have a yard of space either side on the max ???? Eldron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more copper/blue than green/brown. That said I would have preferred the naked carbon like the 60 year anniversary bike (but without all the extras and the eye watering price tag!!).

I am sure the colour you have bought is amazing, knowing how good 3T’s paint colours pop. Below is the colour I don’t like. What were they thinking. Maybe it’s the retro thing ( which I am not a fan of) but it’s fugly in photos. TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE Cycles Posted October 15, 2021 Share Took her out for the first time today after finally finishing up this project. Richard Lee from Customized Cycling put her together for me. Currently set up for road/gravel, but the plan is to run beefier MTB wheels and tyres. Started off as a Stumpjumper Hardtail and now the Monster Cross build of my dreams running SRAM Rival Mullet Groupset, business up front and a party at the back with a GX Eagle AXS Rear mech. Went for a 9-50T Cassette so I can get away with a smaller 40T up front without losing out on the top end Spinmaster, johnson, BogusOne and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
