More Time To Get Fit - 2025

A while back I asked y’all about gravel bikes. Well I ordered this today. It’s being built and will ship on the 22nd

Ooooooo awesome. Word on the street is that Ari has been doing a lot of development and making better and better bikes.
 
I’ve been pretty damn impressed with their communication during this process. I had narrowed down my choices about a month ago (it came down to Niner RTL and the Ari) and contacted them. They have been very quick to respond to my questions and not car salesmen like, if that makes sense. They were always asking me what I wanted instead of pushing me in one direction or another. Even when I didn’t have anything specific in mind they gave me options to choose from. I think I’ve watched almost every video out there of their team rider’s putting the bikes through their paces and winning races so I felt comfortable to move forward with this choice. I told them I was going to be out of town until the 22nd and they said no problem we will build it and then ship it on the 22nd so it doesn’t sit on your porch until you return. I actually spent more time researching this bicycle purchase than I ever did for a car or motorcycle.
 
And look at all the weight they've saved with their new branding! They've dropped the letters by over 50%!
 
That’s mostly stickers for aftermarket stuff. When I was racing, my SV became a beast once I slapped on stickers from Michelin, vesrah and others. Sadly all that extra advertising power did nothing for my personal skills.

That's a sweet looking bike, Justin! Nice clean lines.

No suspension?

No suspension, I’m not into MTB riding. I have one just don’t enjoy riding trails anymore. This is a gravel bike that I will be using on our not so smooth roads up here in the foothills. It will afford me the opportunity to use fat road tires/slicks that will absorb the bumps.
 
Tons Justin. Go find someone else's CC and have at it!
 
TWT, before you know it you'll be getting back into shape and doing better.

Remember that you want to start from a sound baseline when you are rebuilding your body and fitness, some things can't be rushed without reinjuring things.

With that being said, some doctors like to be very conservative with their outlooks so that their patients are happy with them when they recover faster.
