Topstone 5 carbon fibre gravel bike, bought new in June 2021 from Evans Cycles.
Super lightweight BallisTec Carbon Frame and forks with Kingpin suspension system (40mm of rear travel). The ride is unbelievably comfy over rough stuff!!
Frame is a medium, I am 6 ft tall and it fits me well noting Cannondale sizing says I should be a M/L but it’s a personal choice thing.
This is the ultimate gravel bike, amazing ride due to the kingpin rear suspension, Shimano GRX groupset, the rear mech having the clutch system reducing chain slap with hydraulic brakes, running tubeless tyre setup for minimal rolling weight.
Recent new Riddler 37mm tyres, chainrings, cassette and chain.
Selling as I am doing more road and planning on doing more MTB riding so this is not getting much use.
Comes with the best gravel mudguards SKS Speedrockers (£45) and dual bottle cages. The mudguards are absolutely awesome they never clog or rattle and you remain pretty much splatter free on a ride!
The bike has few marks from use but in fabulous condition, please feel free to pop round to inspect and/or test.
Pedals, rear light and top tube bag not included.
