Killer bike for the price. High quality carbon frame with top tier components. No pedal bob with my setup.

I love the bike. It has phenomenal performance and components at a great price. It has excellent cancellation with pedal-bob with the SINE Suspension System, extreme versatility with its different suspension kits, and overall, just an amazing performing and looking machine.

The Alchemy Lycos gravel is fantastic

The Alchemy crew was very helpful and easy to work with in getting my dream bike built - and I love it! Thanks from a very satisfied customer.

Beautiful bikes!! Received mine in September of 2023, came very well packed. I was very impressed with the Alchemy right out of the box, but out on the trail, I could not believe how awesome it was. Perfect free ride bike, but also climbs, very well!

The bike is absolutely amazing, and Alchemy made the purchase process as smooth as can be.

The Alchemy Lycos is probably the best gravel bike I have ever ridden. It felt very comfortable from the first moment I got on it with its light and nimble handling. Out of the box you can see the build quality is outstanding. The gears and brakes aligned perfectly and assembly was a breeze. The bike comes tubeless so all you need to do is inflate the tires to your desired pressure. I ordered the Lycos with SRAM Red which functions flawlessly. The wireless shifting, controlled with the separate left and right shifters, is fast, reliable, and easily managed (and customizable) using the AXS app. Also, the hydraulic brakes have a very confident amount of power balanced with easily controllable variation. With only a 1X setup, the front chain ring is matched with a wide-range cassette to best manage a variety of terrains, speed, and pedaling effort. There are countless other gravel bikes on the market, but for me, this was the best option. I have NO regrets purchasing the Lycos and highly recommend this stand-out superbly crafted gravel bike for anyone in the market. Make sure you reach out to the Alchemy team and they will put you on the right bike set up exactly as you want it to be. You will not regret it!

The bike was set up and ready for "me" right out of the box. I just attached the handlebars and I now have over 900 miles on it. I changed the derailleur out for the AXS electronic shifter, but that was always the plan. The Sram brakes were junk. Switched to Hayes Dominion A4's and love them. Also Switched tires to Maxxis Rekon. Much faster. Just recently put PNW carbon handlebar with larger diameter grips. My on real comolaint is the squeaking. I get one solid ride without squeaking after cleaning, then the noise comes back. Great bike!!
