Thanks! I’ve added both items to the shopping list.
What’s the widest tire you’ve ever installed? I’ve recently installed GP5000 32mm and there’s still plenty of clearance. Your tires look beefy, are they wider than 32?
Must be the light/shadows. Just some 28c Vittoria Corsa Control. I’d like to go wider on this bike but still wearing these down. I’ll need some new rubber in the Spring.

New Bike day a few days ago! Orbea Terra H30.
Was looking for an allroad / winter bike, looked at a few gravel bikes and this came out on top for price, ability to choose stem/crank/handlebar size & fit.
So far so good, will compliment the Giant TCR I have that doesnt leave the house if there is a cloud in the sky 
I actually did not find much in terms of user reviews about this bike, so if anyone has questions please hit me up.

I like the look of the Hygge Model S and I like the price even more. Would you recommend it? Does it ride well? I will probably get the LT-Woo wireless electronic groupset. Are the 30mm GP5000s a tight fit? I think the 2024 Hygge S has more clearance than the previous year’s model but there’s not much info on the website. Thank you for any words of advice.
For the price it is a good frame, but do your own research before you buy it. There is a good thread about this frame at chinertown forum.
As for your questions:
I have 30mm Grand Prix 5000 S TR on 26mm internal hooked rims, they measure as 32.5mm width and 27.2mm height. There’s enough side clearance in the fork (around 6.5-7mm), but tire height is the main limitation with only 4mm of free space. The situation is reversed with the frame. Even with the same tires and wheels, there’s only about 4.5mm of side clearance and over 8mm of height clearance.
The frame rides well for me. I haven’t noticed any lack of stiffness, but I can only compare it to the Jamis Xenith Race 2014 and the alloy Norco Threshold bikes. Wide tires and a carbon handlebar make the bike very comfortable.
@Quinncube yeah, the Orbea always seems to crop up when I filter the bikes available from our cycle to work scheme provider (in the UK).
Would be interested to know what you think of it?
Well I have only managed about 100km across 4 spins on it, but so far so good. Comparitvely speaking, good value when I was looking at similar from Giant and Merida, with a big BIG bonus of being able to spec the size handlebar, crank and stem (prob could have still gone with a shorter stem ).
However, the PDI either wasnt done, or the bike shop phoned it in. I had to torque many bolts myself, and set the front derailure properly. The option of buying direct has them ship it to a dealer of your choosing. So, hard to say if its a QC or the bike shop issue, proably the latter.
But with my limited experience so far so good. Feel free to Dm me in a few weeks for an update. Will be doing a bikepacking weekend next weekend and will be cover 200km in two days, so should have much more intimate knowledge of it by then

My dream bike, stock image, I added 2 sets of wheels (one set at a time), and pedals, some killer cages. Love this bike, the ‘hyper’ color sets it off. (It’s in pieces at the moment getting a deep clean. (Redshift stem)
Hard to believe it’s a 2019.

My new bike: a Giant Propel Advanced Pro 1. It’s my first carbon bike after years of riding steel frames.

2021 diverge sport carbon. Been pretty content as a more entry level gravel bike.
Garmin power pedals, clip on aero bars, 165mm cranks and a few other odds and ends. Have a new bike coming in about a month, but considering this bike for trainer/crappy weather duty.

@Trix8806 what handlebars are you running? I like the profile of the drops.
I have no complaints about the bar at all, other than the 42cm width is a bit much.
I’m moving to an Enve SES aero road in-route with 37cm at the hoods and 42cm in the drops. This model of enve’s allows their clip on aero bars as well.

Built up a second hand Lauf frame with Mullet setup, Enve bars and seatpost. Put an old stem to ses if the length still works and then will put an Enve stem on to match the rest of the bike.

Here’s my lot - they’ve undergone some changes since these pics were taken over the past year or so (e.g. steerer cut on Lauf and changed stem from 130 to 120), shorter Berk saddle on SL6 etc.) but more or less how they are now.

Nice collection! How do you like the Lauf? Any tips on sizing?
