Built a bikepacking / gravel bike. Reminds me of my first mountain bike a bit.
Cable-actuated hydraulic discs are interesting but work really well.

- this is pimp..love those bars.rootlock
- @BuddhaHat It's a budget(ish) build so I built the wheels myself using Octane 1 Orbital Pro hubs, DT swiss spokes and Octane 1 Solar 27.5" rims.slappy
- Bars are Surely Sunrise, quite wide with a 15º backsweep for a cruisey, upright position. Tires are 2.1" wide to take out some of the vibrations on gravel.slappy

- Impressed you did the wheel build yourself, good stuff! Bars are definitely setup for a cruiser position, you could ride all day.BuddhaHat
- Chuck on a Blue Lug handlebar bag for your tools, spares and snacks!

- Nice! Glad you used a STATE. I worked on the initial 'looking for money' decks to help get this co. off the ground back in the day. Good friends there. <3PonyBoy
