#Repost @velosmith ・・・ Dirty Kanza is a tough event. Period. Over the past few days, the social medias are full of riders posting finishing photos. What’s not evident in these photos are the countless, dark, cold and lonely training hours. In the supporting role are the machines of Kanza. Each bike is as unique as their rider and the training programs to arrive at the finish line. In an eventual post to our blog we will dive into seven bikes that survived #dk200. What worked, what didn’t, what the riders wouldn’t change and what they would. This Seven Evergreen SL belongs to LG. So far this season this bike has conquered Haleakala in Maui, Landrun100, Barry Roubiax and now DK200. The S&S couplers make the bike easy to break down and be packed in a standard 26”x12”x12” case allowing it to slip by oversized luggage fees and the need for an oversized rental car at arrivals. SRAM eTap allows for simplicity in packing with the elimination of wires or cables for shifting and provides ample gearing for huge adventuring. Titanium makes the frame tough as nails and nearly impervious to travel, gravel and abuse. Built to last, built to suit, built to be ridden. #sevencycles #evergreening #sramroad #srametap #quarq #irideenve #gravelbike #velosmithbuilds #bikepacking #Haleakala
