Yeah I get your point, but he is rinsing a Canyon Road lite on the trainer currently which has about 0-2cm between saddle and handlebar so he is kinda used to a more sporty version. I don't think he'll like going up with a MTB. This would look like shit :D (btw: currently he sits at 2.3W/kg FTP, rode up Alpe on Rouvy Multiple times - but that's not the topic here :D)

He guys, I want to build my dad a cheap gravel/road bike. He never had one and just turned 76 - his dream is one day being able to ride AlpDHuez. That's wh I want to build him the right tool for this.
I think he'll need something in the Area of 46-51, so having a small reduction overall would be nice.

I heard lots of the Atwood but there are a gazillion versions on AliExpress- can anyone pinpoint me in the right direction for it? I'd guess leaving any front derailleur and problems will be easier overall...so 1x12? 1x11 should do it?

Hey guys,

thinking of pulling the trigger on 2 bikes. One is for my girlfriend - she has a 2019 Cube Sting WS (120mm overall travel) and uses it for light trails (S2 max) and some blue lines in bikeparks (She doenst jump). Would you say the 936 suits her?! (She is 162cm with inner leg length of 76cm - Id suggest she takes an S?)
What budget-solid choice would you recomment for shocks?

Last thing: Are there any pics of the chameleon style colors?! Saw some in a german forum as samples on a tube and want to see them for real...

Thanks
