Good Looking Bike with Strong Components
Solid, good looking bike with strong components! Over the past month I've bought two pre-owned and one new budget gravel bike that was recommended from numerous YouTubers. I tinkered, learning how to modify, fix, and find the right fit. Knowing what to look for is a skill that I needed to explore - and I love to research. After the learning curve and finding what I liked, Van Reysel's GRVL AF checked all of my boxes. Having used the other bikes I bought to play with stem lengths, adjust brakes, dial-in front and rear derailleurs and so on, it is a joy riding something that has not required any modification (other than pedals). Purchasing from REI provides an extra statement of care and quality.
Van Rysel delivers!
Light, sharp handling, much like a road bike and at a great price point!
