The groupsets
SRAM, Campagnolo, electric, mechanical, you can have whatever you want.
For transmission options at SRAM, you can stick with a "classic" Gravel group or opt for a so-called "mullet" group.
It is actually a MTB rear derailleur and cassette of the same type instead of the original components.
The point is to gain about ten teeth at the back to make your life easier when it climbs hard and for a long time. This can change the direction of a ride completely!
Afterwards, if you want to play the 100% Italian game and sing Claude Barzotti in the shower, Campagnolo makes two great mechanical groups. The original Ekar with its super classy carbon crankset and the more recent Ekar GT, equipped with an aluminum crankset and capable of handling a 10-48T cassette without flinching.
And what about Shimano? For a small brand like us, working with the Japanese giant is not easy. But for you, we will move mountains. Contact us so we can discuss it together!
Speaking of groups, I made a little page about the single vs. double chainring debate . Choose your side, comrade!
The wheelsets
We love Miche. The range is relevant, most of it is produced in Italy, the prices are reasonable and the guys are cool. What more could you ask for?
Well, if you have affinities with other brands, we can install the wheels of your choice. You can have Zipp and Mavic wheels in particular, without difficulty.
The peripherals
For the entry level we like Ritchey. It is a serious, recognized brand, with a glorious past and which offers products with unbeatable value for money.
Ritchey offers semi-integrated cockpits. Basically, the sheaths and hoses are hidden for most of their route and are cleverly stashed under the stem before entering the frame at the head tube.
It's almost as discreet as full integrated but almost as easy to install as an external cockpit. It's a bit of the best of both worlds actually.
Now if you want something more exotic, we can offer you Deda cockpits.
Made up of a Superbox DCR aluminum stem and Gera or Superzero aluminum handlebars, they allow the hoses to be completely hidden so as not to have a single visible cable.
It's clean, it's pretty and it's very well put together.
I wrote you a little article that compares the different types of cockpits if you are undecided.
If you wish, instead of the Deda Gera or Superbox Alu handlebars, you can opt for their carbon versions.
Okay, do you have all the information?
We are nice, I assure you!
