"only" $2600 ... you'd be hard pressed to find a more expensive alloy bike (a mass produced one that is, small boutique manufacturers are of course a different story).
@@PedalVision I do quite like the design of some of the Standert alloy bikes, especially the Kreissäge. But if I were to buy yet another bike I'd probably rather go for their Triebwerk CR, which has a steel frame. The weight limit on their alloy bikes is so low I wouldn't get any warranty even for a new bike.
@nekekaminger I’m with you on the steel, there’s something special about it. It usually ain’t light, but the sleek welds and the romance make up for all that. I have two steel bikes myself. I also wouldn’t mind flying on a Kreissage, it’s a beautiful bike that somehow manages to work its way into my insta feed on the regular.
You’re right! We started at Specialized HQ and took a little loop around town. I wish I could tell you what trails we were on, but I was just chasing wheels.
It's way lighter than my bike (Surly Midnight Special), so that's a win. It's just fun. You can throw it around and it rips when you put the power down. My saddle was a little too low and I was still comfortable, for whatever that's worth. It's just a fast bike that's made for playing in the dirt.
@@PedalVision Thanks for the answer. Having an expensive carbon road bike - aluminum gravel bike is enough for me and this new Crux is now on my shortlist. Regards!

That man said "right turn after the bridge" but that never happened, the cut was too smooth, I'm forever going left
You noticed 😅
@@PedalVision 😆I'll unnotice
@@hanssaunders3490 No way! I’m just glad someone else got a kick out of it

Do any of the boutique manufacturers pique your interest?

That looked like a sweet ride, what trails were you on? Looks like you started at the Specialized HQ.

I dont think the word only fits in front of 2600. Just my thoughts. Nice ride though!
😂 I ain’t mad at you. 2600 is a good chunk o’ cheddar.
And what are your impressions??

@MultiFarel you’re welcome, I’m glad I could help. Carbon is great, but it’s nice to have a strong alloy alternative.
Yay
😁
