I haven’t had a fun, sporty bike in way too long and after a few months of researching and testing, then two weeks struggling to decide on the color and finally two months of waiting for the build, I can finally call this purple beauty my own.
Frame: Patria Tribos 28“ in size M and with custom paint in RAL 4005 „blue lilac“ glossy
Drivetrain: Rohloff Speedhub /w Gates Carbon Drive & Gebla Rohbox plus adapted GRX brifters
Wheels: Radiale X25 /w 105 hub up front and Continental Terra Speed tires in 45mm
Add-ons: Synthace Aluminum handlebar and Carbon Seatpost & WTB Saddle
After having many troubles with my previous derailleur-system bikes I really wanted my new one to have an IGH, which narrowed down my choices, especially considering that I wanted a drop bar bike as well. I almost placed an order for a Tout Terrain Scrambler with a Pinion gearbox but ended up deciding on the Patria instead in the last minute.
All financed through my employer and JobRad here in Germany, which made it possible for me to splurge on all this.
The first 60km ride I took it on today was an absolute blast and I really pushed myself to the limit, lol. Can’t wait for the many more rides to come! Already ordered a whole bunch of extras today 😀
