Santa Cruz Updates the Stigmata Gravel Road Bike
One of our favorite all-time carbon gravel bikes, the Santa Cruz Stigmata just received a few updates, including a longer top tube, slacker head angle, improved tire clearance (700×50 for 1x, 700×45 for 2x), hidden fender mounts, a threaded BB, a UDH, and more. Check out the new Stiggy at Santa Cruz and stay tuned as John reviews yet another generation!
Moots Routt CRD Gravel Racing Bike
Light. Nimble. Streamlined. That’s what the NEW Routt CRD is all about: incorporating everything Moots has learned from a decade of making versatile gravel bikes. The ROUTT CRD (Complete Race Design) is a distillation of Moot’s rich history and desire to create a perfect gravel race machine with the purist in mind. The new Routt CRD enters the line-up as their flagship gravel race bike meant for speed across gravel and broken road surfaces, while maintaining legendary Moots ride quality. The Routt CRD continues to improve efficiency where power enters the bike around the BB and dropouts while isolating the rider with lighter tubing both in the seat stays and top tube for those all-day rides. Designed with the spirit of competition and the gravel racer in mind, the Routt CRD is optimized around 40-42c tires with plenty of clearance to spare.

Radavision
Stuff we see on the ‘net that causes pause…
Exquisite art by @bicyclepubes
We couldn’t not, not, not share this not serious but serious poem and Park Tool CNW-2 illustration by Mr. Pubey for our Radavision today. Anyone who’s used this tool on chainring bolts feels this:
“Oh CNW-2.
You piece of shit.
Your little teeth.
Are they engaged?
Engaged in the microscopic grooves I can’t currently see?
Maybe.
But probably not.”
