Tell us about your bike/build?:
My Escapade is Built for adventure, the commute, to explore, dog run, tour and most importantly, the gravel. She's not the fastest or the lightest but I wouldn't have anything else. The build is solid and dependable. My wheels are WTB Koms with cotic hubs, they are good looking, especially with WTB sendero tyres. I choose Sendero tyres because they look fly and I like to feel confident with the amount of grip they have on offer. Senderos have proven to be super aggressive and efficient on the gravel and a lot of fun down my local mountain bike trails. I've been getting comfy on WTB seats for a long time now so there wasn't any other I'd settle on over the Koda. Holding all that up and making the ride even more comfortable is my Cane Creek eeSilk suspension seatpost, pretty stoked on this part on my bike. Last but certainly not least my trusty and reliable Shimano Ultegra set up puts the icing on the cake.
