My bikes, my setups!
I love riding bikes, no matter the type or terrain. Whether it's pushing the limits on a gravel performance bike, cruising the streets on a sleek road bike, zipping through the city on a Brompton, or hauling gear with an e-motor cargo bike—I'm all about the ride. Check it out!

Finally, I have the perfect bike for my gravel adventures—the Gravel Performance Bike from Standert: The Kettensäge. The Kettensäge is the ultimate gravel race bike, crafted in Italy from Dedacciai Aegis aluminum tubing. This bike is packed with technical advantages that truly make a difference. I'm riding the model in the "Give 'em Hell Caramel" colorway. It’s an aggressive ride, and compared to the Pfadfinder, you feel more "on" the bike. It’s lighter than the Pfadfinder, and I’ve outfitted it with the following components:
Groupset: Shimano 2x12-speed GRX Di2 (31-48)
Tires: On the Pictures Maxxistires Receptor EXO TR Tanwall 40mm, know i used the Schwalbe G One R Evolution ADDIX Super Race
Chain Wax: Cyclingceramic (Code JULIEN10 10% off)
Saddle: Pro Stealth Offroad Saddle
Pedals: Shimano XTR XC
Handlebar: LEVELNINE Aero 31.8 Carbon Lenker
Seatpost: Pro bikegear Vibe Carbon
GPS Unit: Wahoofitnessofficial ELEMNT Roam + Roam Aero Out Front Mount
Stander Pfadfinder
For gravel I used for several years my Standert Pathfinder with a 58 frame (I'm 1.89 tall). I drive it with SHIMANO WH-RX570-TL GRX 650b rims and drive on the front wheel a 47mm CONTINENTAL TERRA TRAIL tire and back a 40mm CONTINENTAL TERRA SPEED. I sit on the PRO STEALTH OFFROAD SADDLE. To get to my destination I set some years on Wahoo. Currently I used the new WAHOO ELEMENT ROAM 2.0.
My circuit is a SHIMANO GRX DI2 RX815 GRUPPE 2X11 31-48 and my pedals are the SHIMANO CLICKPEDALS PD-M520. That I do not thirst I have me the FIDLOCK TWIST BIKE BASE BOTTLE HOLDING SYSTEM mounted on it.
My tools, spare tube and my MAURTEN SOLID ENERGYBARS I pack in my little handlebar bag from Capsuled!
