Hey there, I’m looking at doing some long endurance gravel racing in the coming years and as such, I’m looking for recommendations for a new bike setup. I’m tall, 6’ 5" with long legs (36-38" inseam) so it’s not so easy to just pick a gravel bike from one of the major bike companies and dial in th…

Budget? (as in, what is it) :sweat_smile:

US, UK, EU, AUS, etc. based? (may affect available brands and related recommendations)
