GR1ST for Magda

Finding a bike that truly fits a smaller rider can be challenging, as the industry often uses components that are simply too big, neglecting the importance of proper bike fitting. This was the issue Magda faced. We set out to build a bike tailored specifically for her, choosing 650B wheels, a 36cm handlebar, and 165mm cranks to achieve the perfect fit. Finished with a 1x12 Shimano GRX groupset with a wide-range cassette, this project resulted in a bike that’s both versatile and highly capable.
