Everyone knows everything is out of stock. Most mainstream media are still talking and reviewing bikes as if you can just go buy one in the store. That may not be something they have to worry about, but for the rest of us mortals, the current bike stock situation makes building a new bike impossible...or is it?
I built up this bike using parts that are all in stock and readily available on AliExpress, and best of all, it cost less than $2000. It's an absolute hoon to ride, and a great way to get into gravel.
