BURRO BIKES

This gravel bike is amazing! The custom titanium frame and electronic shifting are super smooth on the gravel forest roads in Colorado. The custom appointments are great including the power meter, lighted seat, and frame geometry.

I absolutely love my Burro Bike and highly recommend it for every gravel grinder that "needs" an n+1 bike in your garage & on the gravel roads in your area!

Just before COVID in 2020, I had discovered gravel roads.  I borrowed an aluminum CRUX from a friend and started riding gravel for both racing and recreation.  I love the crunch of gravel, the occasional drift of a back tire, the remoteness, the lack of traffic.  But after 1600 miles, my relationship with gravel riding was on the rocks due to back pain, numb hands, and fatigue. Sure, I looked around for other bikes.  Carbon, steel, fancy seat posts and handlebars.  But, for the first time in my life, I realized I was actually ti-curious.  I took a leap of faith and bought a titanium frame from Handlebar Cyclery, and they set it up for me knowing my issues.  Stephen and the rest of the crew set up a ti dream.  The first 60 miles or so that I rode it included the Castell Grind, and let me tell you, friends, the hype about the comfort of a titanium frame is all true.  Washboards and rocky roads melted away into clouds of dust.  The bike floated over sand pits and glided through chunk.  And for the first time in a long time, except for some cramps due to poor training, I got off the bike feeling better than when I got on it: No back pain.  No numbness in the hands.  If your relationship with gravel is also on the rocks, or maybe if you just want to spend more time on the rocks than you do already, you've got to check out the titanium Burro Bikes at Handlebar.  I'm really happy with my custom built bike from a local shop, and the Burro frames are American-made, as well.
