After building a couple early gravel bikes known as All-Road rigs before Gravel was a thing, I started searching for a custom gravel bike that would fit my needs & desires for a single track weapon, adventure rig for camping/bikepacking, and all around Gravel Grinding & Racing. I discovered OPEN Cycles & fell in love with a very limited edition model collaborative with ENVE Carbon known as the “ENVE Edition WI:DE” I located an XL frame and did a complete custom build with all the good bits. I immediately ordered a custom set of I-9 Wheels & the Rene Herse 55’s for some serious gravel fun. I still find myself exploring the roads less traveled & snapping endless photos of this gorgeous rig!
