Fezzari’s revamped Shafer gravel bike has traded its old me-too personality for modern progressive handling, more capabilities, and value that should put mainstream brands on notice.
Thoroughly progressive geometry and handling, good stiffness and ride quality, clean and elegant aesthetics, ample mounting options, superb value.
