This week we are featuring Kristin’s Colnago C68 Gravel.
Kristin is a local rider, active within the cycling community and also competitive in the triathlete scene, she enjoys the challenge and fitness that an event like an Ironman brings to her lifestyle. This year, she turned her eyes to the gravel scene and wanted to give it a proper go with the right bike. She understands the benefits that a proper bike fit can bring and as a petite rider, the options in the market for a frame in her size are limited. We looked into various frame manufacturers and to our pleasant surprise, the Colnago C68 gravel (455 size) would work well for Kristin. She was also looking for a fast gravel bike, something that could move quickly in the dirt and something that would be light enough to help her get to the top of the climb faster. She was not looking for an adventure bike with lots of clearance or longer wheel base, in other words, she wanted a bike that would handle and feel like a road bike but on gravel, something that would help her with the transition from road to gravel without feeling slow or heavy. The Colnago C68 Gravel had all the qualities that Kristin was looking for.
