Interesting, I’ll check out alternatives. The goal is a < one week loop within car distance of NYC if anyone has other ideas, but contrary to tarck tradition I can ask about this in an appropriate thread.

Could ride with older kid to school, and you get kid on MacRide or with an adapter cramkset.
Problem is that I would need to buy the parts and pay someone to put it together and then store it.
Ok I think I just talked myself out of it.
Hey @bward1028 watch SFO craigslist for future breakup sales, please

No. Is that a 96er, or just an extra-bad fisheye pic?
ATMO if u gonna get a weird Maverick, get one with their fork too.
Eddy Merckx is making a steel gravel bike with braze-ons. Can’t find where to buy it or any reviews or anything but it’s what I want and it’s under $2000 for a complete. You can even pick the colors. Is there anything I should consider instead for a bikepacking bike? I’ve never bought a new bike before.

Endpoint, Crust, Ritchey, and Fairlight are the other ones I’m considering but but they’d all end up being at least $1000 more.

Is Marin Nicasio 2 too pedestrian?
A little bit. I definitely want it to be “cool.”
And the fork doesn’t have the mounting points I want.

Norco Search?
I keep getting ads for lauf bikes for 20% off

This is kind of the wrong question. I should have asked “is there any reason to not buy this bike?”

Without having seen a modern EM and knowing nothing about them, I think you should get it
