I own several other bikes, but thought the beautiful Extrema Italia would not be worth the hearty price tag. Turns out I might be wrong… it’s still a wild sum of money, but the monster gravel bike rode 5x more smooth and light than I had expected. Still I wouldn’t drop even close to 10k for a gravel bike that I would shred for dear life with. Gravel bikes need to handle scratches, rocks, crashes, and I don’t want to be overly careful with them.

That is a sick bike. Dang.
That’s pretty tight that Julian Alaphilippe was working on your bike.
Wow. What is the contraption in the last picture that is attached to the valve and spoke?
Was a big fan of 3T, but the market has seem to have moved past their company’s directions and dull storytelling.
A design that is too little too late, and obviously outpriced compared to its competitors.
Even with money, why would I spend it on a 3T over Pina, Colnago, or even a Moots? Just my honest opinion.
& as a point of pedantry, my limited knowledge of Italian suggests that this should be called the Estremo ?
wheel size?
