Very lucky to have Brad building your bikes. Freshbikes for life.

[@wattwagon]

freshbikes 4 life!!! Brad is my go to east coast builder!

That frame weave is beautiful. I’ve only seen that standard on Time bikes.

[@wattwagon]

3T is making frames in Italy now and finishing them that way. It looks amazing doesn't it! thanks for watching!

[@thomasdombaj1050]

Wow👍👍👍... Great Bike

[@wattwagon]

[@Circletakesthejake]

[@wattwagon]

[@wokex]

Looks SO mean. That's gonna rip!

[@wattwagon]

it truly rips!!!

[@PolygonPapi]

SHEEEEESH

[@wattwagon]

RIGHTTTT!

Holy Molly that Project X frame looks cool and rare. Probably one of 3T's most expensive frame. Is your Exploro Ultra now out of date?

[@wattwagon]

it's so wild! they make these in Italy so it's a bit more cost than the exploro racemac. The ultra is still my weapon of choice for gnarly bikepacking events and rides! This bike is going to be my "when I ride fast bike."

[@Techwonderland]

Odd question: in the video where you cleaned up your bike from Badlands, it seemed like you didn’t ride it for a while once you got back? Do you train on the same bikes you race on? Was that one worn out from the race?

[@wattwagon]

I do usually train on the same bike I race on. Sometimes I will swap out cassette/chain/chainring to keep those nice and new for racing. I didn't ride my ultra after badlands because I needed a little break from riding, it got lost in transit, and I took forever to build it up. So instead I rode another 3T exploro that I have setup as my "road" bike.

Beautifule bike :) First race on this bike is? :)

[@wattwagon]

not sure yet!!! I will have to pick one for this Spring!

[@tycjantrzpiola]

@@wattwagon Atlas Mountain Race? :)

[@wattwagon]

that's the plan!!! you??@@tycjantrzpiola

[@tycjantrzpiola]

@@wattwagon Atlas too so maybe see you! Didn't say hello on badlands this year :)

[@roadcyclist1]

Not a fan of exposed cables but other than that looks good.

[@wattwagon]

I know I knowwwww who even likes exposed cables. Next time I have the bike serviced I will switch to the integrale stem from 3T. It hadn't been released yet when I had this bike built up.

[@dcv9460]

I think the handlebar tape installation is lousy 😎 But, the carbon weave of the frame looks awesome 👍💯

[@wattwagon]

bb probably had to tend to his dog so I'll let it slide. The frame is epic tho!!!!!!!

[@3TZZZ]

Beautiful bike… but no lube in the build, headset bearings, cranks, through axles, anywhere??

[@wattwagon]

oh it's in there, just not always shown on film- those clips aren't as intersting....
