I ride a lot but rarely take pictures, so I thought this was a nice one to share.
Grail AL 7 SL (Carbon Eater): This thing has been fast AF since 2020, and in my opinion, the newer Grail models don’t compare in terms of price, weight, and components.
My key to staying happy with my bike? I don’t crave new tech or components. There’s nothing electronic shifting can do that my mechanical setup can’t. Same goes for carbon vs aluminum—it's all about the ride and the experience for me, not the gear.
