MEROCA Bicycle Four link Shock Stem 31.8*90MM Aluminum alloy XC Grave Road Mountain Bike Risers Suspension Stems
StemMeroca Susp Stem : Very nice stem for gravel. I have no comparison, but I like it a lot. You can chose the stiffness thanks to 4 different springs. I used the second stiffest one (85kg rider)
eeSilk Seatpost Alloy 27.2MM Plate Road Mountain Bike Cushioned Rod Seat Tube
SeatpostI ended up getting one of the original eeSilk seatposts (not the eeSilk+) for ~$48usd recently. I compared it really closely to the photos on Cane Creek's website, and while it's missing the Cane Creek branding on the seatpost itself, it does have the logo on the elastomer part, and says 'eeSilk' on the side. As far as I can tell it's an exact copy of the now discontinued 'base model' aluminum version. Have about 300km of use on it, and I love it so far, zero noise, zero creaks - it just works. Weighs exactly what the original says it does in the marketing materials. Apparently once upon a time these shipped with 3 different elastomers so you could tune the ride yourself, although Cane Creek's own website says in some places that the additional elastomers only come with the carbon version. One thing even the alloy version is supposed to come with (but the AliExpress copy didn't) was the special rebuild tool you're supposed to use to drive the axles out and back in for lubrication and servicing. I'm fairly certain I can bodge a way to sort that out on my own when the time comes, though.

ROCKBROS Cycling Bib Shorts Seamless Men Cycling Shorts 6H 500KM Ride Summer MTB Road Shorts Buffer Zone Bicycle Tights
Bib-ShortThe shorts are impressive too - one cargo pocket, high quality straps, good quality lycra, good grippers, nicely cut legs. Padding is fine for at least 3-4 hours but haven't tested any more yet. If you're tall, you might find the legs a bit short, but I'd say mine are good for ~175cm and below. Two really good pieces from Rockbros, not something I really expected but sometimes you take a shot in the dark and get lucky.

WEST BIKING Fahrrad-Oberrohrtasche, magnetisch, wasserdicht, Schrauben, Riemen, 2-in-1-Fahrrad-Fronttasche, MTB, StraÃe, Kies, Radfahren, obere Rahmentasche
BagsI've tried numerous top tube bags and the best I've found is this one which is 1L and only 5cm wide. It's got a strap or bolt on option and has a sturdy magnetic clip. It's seems to be a common model which is produced under many brands - I think West bike was the cheapest for me from the coins page. There's a couple of bolt mounting positions and the forward position will minimise the gap which is fine for me, but not sure if it's acceptable to you.
