Lauf Anywhere looks better, but only clears 40cc, but I'd prefer the Anywhere, over the Seigla, not interested in a Lauf fork.Quote:

I heard cdale cxworld team wanted that for all the wheels they already had and now they don't even exist so great job on that.
The orbeas seem decent. I have the old rim brake cross bike terra and would have considered the new version last year when I was bike shopping but they haven't been able to get us many bikes. Same deal with cdale. Kona managed to make a major jake appear for me. They have a new gravel bike coming out but it doesn't seem all that different from the libre which has kind of strange short and upright geo and I don't know what they're going for with it. And the jake is going away it seems.
Other shop I work for doing events sells opens but I haven't really looked close at them. Seems expensive for the frame.
As a TCX owner j would say they’re definitely too old school euro CX geo. BB I sky high which is sub optimal.

Love, love, love how the Open looks (especially that light blue). But anecdotally, I know two out of two owners who have persistent BB creaking issues. One sold the bike out of frustration.
YMMV
I’ll put a plug in for a SuperX. Basically a road frame that can accommodate up to 42’s. Does everything except be aero. Yes, needs offset rear which is like 10 mins of your life.
My bad. I thought Lauf was selling frame only.
My dream build starts with: Rodeo Labs Trail Donkey. No particular reason,,,just looks cool and different than what everyone else has.

I’ve build a few OPENs and know their intricacies.Quote:

I’m okay building an Ai offset wheel, or a Ai specific Bottom Bracket, but I believe that the SuperX also needs a Ai specific crank. That’s where I draw the line with Ai specificity.Quote:

Salsa? I thought you were getting another Chamois Hagar?
I borrowed the Chamois and then bought a cutthroat. They are pretty similar and I have really enjoyed the cutty.

Does the Crux clear your drivetrain? Spec says no, but maybe it’s fine?Quote:

Forecasted to be warm and dry in NNM this year. Fine by me until the fires start.

Fezzari Shafer - Not “cool” per se but $1700 for a carbon frame is hard to ignore….
