My first Gravel Bike – Parlee Chebacco XD

I’m a roadie that had a little too much fun when I stumbled across some gravel and single track on a few rides. This build started with a bike fit on a jig, which determined the Parlee Chebacco XD in size ML would be a perfect fit for me and my riding style!

Rest of the specs:

* Shimano GRX 2×11 Di2 Drivetrain – 48-31 / 11-34 with 170mm cranks
* DT Swiss G 1800 Spline 700c Wheels
* Specialized S-Works Pathfinder 42mm Tires set up tubeless
* Pro Discover Carbon 20 Handlebars
* Zipp Service Course Stem and Seatpost
* Specialized Power Pro with Mirror Saddle (have it on my road bike as well)
* 4iiii Precision 3+ Crank Arm Power Meter
* King Cage Stainless Steel Bottle Cages
* Silca Bar Tape, Waxed Chain, and Gravelero Mini-Pump

The ride feels great, even on the road! I plan to throw my road wheels on at some point to see an N-1 makes sense…

I’m currently training up for Unbound 100. I just did Melting Mann in Michigan last weekend. Rough Road in Illinois and Barry Roubaix in Michigan are up next!
