They are clearing inventory and offering great deals. A friend just bought a Comp Carbon Creo Evo for $5,800 saving $1,450. Limited stock and sizes. I'm a year late and dollar short.

Right now just trying to catch up on all the things I neglected while planing and doing the ride. We will be doing the ride again in 2026 and God willing I hope to be able to ride. Nobody called me Gramps on the ride LOL.

Hi Mschwett, I just saw your post on your frequent 21 mile loop. Would you be interested guiding a couple old firemen on that ride? Frank

I recently went on a fairly long ride from the San Francisco bay area to New York. I rode with a group of firefighters and military veterans both active and retired for the 20th anniversary of 911. We left Aug. 1st and arrived in New York 40 days later on Sept. 9th. There were only 3 rest...

Marin headlands?

We were riding tight in a peloton in a back country road Ohio when we had to shift to the right for a car. All two of us got tangled and went down. The guy behind me went into the grass and was okay. As for me I hit hard enough to even crack my helmet, bruise my hip with a serious road rash...

Sorry for being late to the conversation about saddles, I was busy riding from San Francisco to New York when that was being discussed. I was with a group of 10 firefighters and veterans riding cross country for the 20th anniversary of 9/11. We spent 40 days on the road 37 of them riding. One...

"Just A Bike"...Funny you say that. Here is my Creo Evo alongside my Stigmata "just a bike". I rode both of these on my forty day cross country trip from San Francisco to New York Bay2Brooklyn2021.com. I too ride my Creo with little to no assist. I was riding with 9 others but no one with an...

The shop I bought the bike from did the install.

I very rarely use any assist while on the flat. In most cases I'm able to keep with the group at a comfortable 15mph. Once rolling I find very little difference between my Creo Evo and my 19 lb. Santa Cruz Stigmata but once climbing thats a different story. Even when climbing I will ride...

I bought it about 4 months ago for about $60 its now selling for $74. Very expensive but it does the job. It really helped on one particular climb that was very steep with no shoulder or even a guard rail, just a white line. You didn't want to wander to the left due to car traffic or right...

Last week I made the longest and steepest climb ever with my Creo Evo. I was in Lake Tahoe doing some high altitude training in preparation for a cross country ride starting on August 1st. https://bay2brooklyn2021.com At 72 yrs.I am the slowest and oldest member of team and the only member on...

Well I pulled the trigger and ended up buying the Turbo Creo Evo after just a 20 minute test ride. What convinced me was a 20% grade that I never would have made with my other 19 lb. gravel bike was fairly easily done while in the saddle on the Evo...Did most in sport but switched to turbo to...
