Okay, so this is going to be a long one. I'm the tech editior at Bikeworldnews.com. We are a relatively small site, but still try to cover a bit of everything in cycling. We haven't been doing as much racing news over the last few years, and I'm behind on reviews with some demands from my day job, but I'm looking forward to catching up with a lot of cool things in the works. The only thing missing from the list is a Stages SC3 bike. Not technically mine, but I treat them like they are at the studio I teach Les Mills The Trip at.

So here is my stable.

Bianchi.jpg
Bianchi Sempre Pro - Ultegra 6800 and Dura-Ace 9000 Di2, absoluteBLACK chainrings, Pioneer power meter, CeramicSpeed coated BB and OSPW, 3T cockpit, Ciamillo Negative GSL brakes, Vision Metrion 40SL or Shimano C50 Wheelsets
-The bike was originally ridden by the Colavita | Bianchi Pro women's team when I was the team photographer for a season. The frame, rear derailleur, and C50's are the only original parts from when it was raced. This is my mountain climber, coming in at the low to mid 16 lb range.
WTB.jpg
Van Dessel Whiskey Tango Foxtrot - Ultegra 6800 mechanical disc hydro, absoluteBLACK chainrings, FSA cockpit with Brooks B17 Special saddle and leather bar wrap, Mavic Ksyrium wheelset, fenders and rack.
-This was supposed to be my cruiser/commuter, but I rarely ride it and will probably sell soon. It's a crazy split top tube steel frame that can handle anything from mountain biking to bike packing.
Old Boogie.jpg
Van Dessel Full Tilt Boogie - "Old Boogie" - SRAM Force CX1 hydro disc, absoluteBLACK chainrings, FSA cockpit, various wheels, Crank Bros dropper
-In the process of being rebuilt as a second CX/Gravel bike
Motivus.jpg
Van Dessel Motivus Maximus LTD - SRAM Red eTap hydro disc, FSA cockpit, Stages power meter, absoluteBLACK chainrings (not shown), Digirit OSPW (not shown), and Flo 64 AS Disc Wheels (Princeton CarbonWorks wheels shown, but only had them in for a short review).
-My road racer. An absolute rocket, but is versatile enough for crits or centuries, weighing in at high 17's to low 18;s, depending on the wheels.
New Boogie.jpgNew Boogie Gravel.jpgNew Boogie Road.jpg
Van Dessel Full Tilt Boogie - "New Boogie" - SRAM Force CX1, CeramicSpeed coated BB, headset, and OSPW, absoluteBLACK rings (38-52 in four tooth increments), Custom painted copper 3T ARX LTD and ErgoTerra Team Stealth stem and bars, KS Lev Dropper seat post routed to a modified SRAM DoubleTap shifter to actuate, sometimes a Lauf Grit fork, bags from Apidura, Topeak, or Restrap, Flo AS 64 Disc/G700 Disc wheels, or custom-built Astral Wanderlust/White Industries/CeramicSpeed coated bearings wheelset
-This is my one bike for everything. Road, gravel, cyclocross, even some light trail riding. This bike can do it all.
Look.jpg
Look 765 Gravel RS - SRAM Force CX1, Spengle Wheels, Restrap bags in the pic, Vision aerobars
-One hell of a fast gravel bike, and absolutely love the wheels, although this is the only bike I can run them on.

I think that's it, if you don't count my wife's road and CX bikes.
 
too many curly bars
Had a Cannondale Scalpel at one point, but not enough good trails within a good distance for me. Good riding was at least an hour away. And most of those trails that are close, I can easily handle on the New Boogie or the Look. I might not be bombing them like guys on full squish, but don’t underestimate a good rider on a CX/gravel bike, especially with a dropper.

I can take those Metron 40s off of your hands.
