Yay - Bae is back!
Poor Bae had to wait ages for her fork to come back out of service.
But now they are united again and I are united with Bae! 😍😉🤓

The next brand with a ready to buy #DropbarMTB:

@leecouganbicycles with the Innova SuperGravel

Nice - it's gaining momentum 😊

It's of course based on the pre-existing Rampage Innova Softtail.
This features 30 mm travel on the rear and is specced with a 100 XC suspension fork in the front.

Geo and features look perfect for a DropbarMTB / Supergravel. 👍😃

Ridley Bikes just unveiled the Ignite GTX as a #DropbarMTB ready to buy.

It's called exactly like their still existing hardtail, the Ignite GTX. And shares the same frame.

This is awesome!

Remember the nice #DropbarMTB of @krystianwagnerr I shared recently (he went ti the AMR with it)?

This was the prototype and from today on you can buy this bike. And not only that - you can configure it to your heart’s content!

And they named it after me - Franky!
Oh well, maybe not after me…. but looking how you can set it up and what they write on the product page I certainly wouldn’t object. ;-))

Latest addition to my curated story highlight for #DropbarMTB Inspiration on Instagram: A resto-mod of two Cannondale Headshok Hardtails.

Some noteworthy component choices explained in above linked Instagram post. Can't replicate here since Mastodon is too limited in terms of character count.

But you can read the epic long version from start of 2023 on my blog: https://torstenfrank.wordpress.com/2023/04/25/dropbar-mtb-teil-5-der-konkrete-aufbau-teileliste-und-das-finale-ergebnis/ (text in German).

Scenic view for my #DropbarMTB or better: my Gravelbike for fun, comfort and speed!

I built this bike already in December 2022 and it has proven itself over and over since. And dare I say wide tires and suspension forks are finally the main stream in Gravel they deserve if you want all three: fun, comfort and speed? :)

Sharing photos and personal experiences and teasing the fediverse with Meta since 2023 and loving it... 🤪😅

Have a look at my Canyon Exceed and why/how I like it. :)

It's about time I continue my #DropbarMTB Inspo Story Highlight. I started it end of 2022 and you can access it readily via my Instagram Story Highlights. https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18043786705452178/

Today with 3 bikes (2 full sus' and 1 hard tail) for 2 very different races starting tomorrow: Colorado Trail Race and Leadville MTB Race.

Well - I guess it’s happening. First bikepacking event of the season! I’m starting traveling to Girona today. Saturday I’ll start „El Piri“. L’Esperit del Bikepacking’s second event in the Catalan Pyrenees. Just shy of 800 km and a nice dose of climbing and descending on mixed surfaces. I hope for nice weather, great views and nice riding. :)

You can follow the dots via https://www.lesperitdelbikepacking.org/el-piri-live

Can you count the camera angles / mounting points?

Using a nice day in May (actually two ;-)) to show what you can do with a 360° Action Cam and some creative mounting (without much fuzz and without being a video editior or going full hog on editing - just one timeline and straight cuts inside the Insta360 Studio Desktop App.

Carbon, rock and rubber.

And so it is March. Finally. Took my #DropbarMTB out for a spin for a change.

The best Gravelbike…
… is a Drop bar Mountainbike.

Wusstet ihr, dass ich ein spezielles Insta-Highlight kuratiere, in dem ich DropbarMTBs bzw. Adventure Bikes oder 29er sammle, die mir gefallen bzw. die mir auffallen?

Ab und an poste ich mal was auf flickr. Das Sortieren in thematische Gruppen und Alben hat irgendwie was ;-) Außerdem sitzt die Zielgruppe da vielleicht eher vor einem schönen Monitor als nur am Winz-Smartphone-Screen durch einen Feed zu wischen.

If you follow me or my blog you’ll have seen this bike already a lot. And know exactly why and how I built it.

If not - well, you now have the opportunity to read about it in the most compact and brief manner I ever did. 😅

Here it’s in its full Bikepacking regalia just before Badlands.
