I was trying to decide last month whether I should jump on an amazing deal I came across on a new Topstone 1, or further upgrade my Jamis Renegade. I finally decided to keep my Renegade. It just fits me like a glove but was in need of some upgrades. I upgraded the groupset to 1x SRAM Rival 1 and went with an Easton EA90 30mm crankset. Both huge game-changers. I can't wait for the spring so I can take it on a ride longer than just around the block before my face feels like it will fall off in the sub 0 weather. I can't believe how fast and light it feels. Should have done this a long time ago. I upgraded the tires and wheelset and some other stuff towards the end of last season. Gonna be a great 2026! Happy New Year, everyone!

Looks great! I’m new to gravel riding and I like how the saddle is a little lower than the bars. I think I need to find something like that, the hunched over distance riding isn’t made for me
