Got the gravel bike mostly done tonight. Had to wait on a brake line to come in as the one they shipped with was comically short. Took it on a little 40k rip today to get it dialled. Will be swapping out the seatpost, stem and saddle when they finally get over the border. Love this thing already.
- Unlikely anyone cares but yes they are 650b with 48c tires. Getting a 700/35c wheelset going for road-ish commutes.ben_

- Looking good!deadsperm
- Nice!calculator
- If any of you are towing kids, Robert Axle Project makes the best thru axle for trailers. It’s maybe the best part of the bike, lol.ben_
- Looks great. Don't let it get stolen...Longcopylover
- Honestly I rarely if ever leave my bikes outside. But yeah, fuck a bike thief.ben_
- Oh, damn! Sweeeet ride. How's that steel frame with carbon fork working out? What handlebars did you throw on there?nocomply
- So far I like it. Straight steer, plus tubeless also takes some chatter out. There’s a chance I may swap the fork for something I can put a proper front rack onben_
- So if I do that, it’ll be steel for sure. The bars are ritchey adventuremax 44’s in alloy. If I’d have gone di2 I would have sprung for carbon.ben_
- I’m planning a very long trip for next year, so going electronic seemed like a bad idea in the long run, but the di2 stuff is magicben_
- This is sick, gravel bike is next on my list, probably won't be this nice though.slappy
- It's a great addition, glad I did it finally. We have perfect conditions for this type of riding where I live.ben_
