It\u2019s been a busy week in the world of cycling, but it\u2019s almost time for a break.<\/p>

Before the weekend, though, here\u2019s your weekly dose of First Look Friday<\/a>, our round-up of the top stories from the week and a look at some of the latest tech and kit to arrive at BikeRadar HQ.<\/p>

We kicked off the week with some good news \u2013 Orange Bikes has been saved by owner Ash Ball<\/a>. After it had previously appointed administrators<\/a>, the mountain bike<\/a> brand has restructured and appears set to continue trading.<\/p>

Bossi announced its Grit SS<\/a>, a AU$6,920 (around \u00a33,560), fully integrated titanium gravel bike<\/a> frameset with hydroformed aerodynamic tube shapes.<\/p>

According to the Australian brand, the Grit SS also makes use of 3D printing for various small parts, such as yokes and dropouts.<\/p>

Sticking to the theme of expensive gravel bikes, Colango announced its C68 Gravel<\/a>, the latest in its line of premium C Series bikes.<\/p>

Handmade in Italy from carbon fibre, prices for the C68 Gravel start from \u00a36,899.95 \/ $7,995.95 \/ \u20ac7,250 \u2013 although, in fairness, that gets you a complete bike.<\/p>
