New Bike Day: Chiron | Poseidon X (2022) | Keppel's Vlog 17 | Tulsa, Okla.

After the theft of my Giant Roam 4 (2021), I was able to buy a replacement, this time from a direct-to-consumer company, poseidonbike.com. The Poseidon X is a gravel bike, with a 1x10 microshift advent X drivetrain, a carbon front-fork, and so, so many braze-ons for attaching bottles and gear. It's also a beautiful interstellar blue color! Mine is a size L (56), and cost $700.

This video is both an unboxing of the bike, and a look at its features - feel free to skip ahead using the chapters if you're more interested in the bike and my review of it than in watching the unboxing and assembly.

Thanks to Pak Chuck and Elana for their company and commentary during the unboxing!
