Victoire CX, Gravel Racer, Do it All DiscO

And a nicer group^ ;-)

Absolute win, fantastic bike!

really nice!

i only don't like the rear cabeling, looks like you will destroy that on your first crash or in a deep forest with bushes and trees.

great bike!

Wow so not having an electronic groupset and 4130 frame means 3kg less ;)

Rogan, yes I took a bit of inspiration from your project, the tyres were a blatant copy!

Eingang, I do agree with you, kinda regret it now not having internal routing for the rear mech. The bow doesn't look good but I do think it'll be safe.

Thanks for the comments anyhow.

Nice! If you want to remove the cable bow swap the mech for equivalent MTb type - x9 / xo etc. Although they are 10 speed mechs they can work with force 22 but ymmv.

Are they iron cross rims?

yes they are, a real pain to mount tyres on!

Also easy to blow the tyre off the rim if you go beyond 40psi - be careful :)

Sweeeet

Today I went to the woods and took a few shots of it.

Just lovely!! Added to my list of favourite forum bikes.

Ritchey pedals?

yes! v5

enjoy the tyres while theyre not mucky brown ;D

discs innit

It's awesome to ride, it feels like a 40km/h mountain bike.

I'm always restraining myself from pulling wheelies and nose wheelies with the brakes.

Mother of god that's nice.

What is it primarily going to be used for? CX racing or super fancy year round all terrain road bike?

For now it's going to be a sunday bike, I'm most of the days on the road bike.

It's going to be the recovery day bike.

Come september it will be a full on Cx bike, I might even buy some chinese crabon tubulars to destroy in the races.

How do you rate the hy/rd then?

Bike looks truly excellent btw!

This is my first time on discs but I have to say they give you lots of confidence.

I haven't tried the Avid ones but these ones surely work, there is lots of modulation and the levers do travel quite a bit in comparison with rim brakes, but I have it so that it locks at half way through between lever and bar.

I haven't really done any long descents so I don't know anything in that matter.
I'll write a few words when I have more k's on it.

Boa montagem. Gosto muito ;)

It got to prolly's website, so grateful.

Aww, now Im jelly cos Prolly didnt post my Victoire :(
Awesome build though man, looks like a lot of fun.

Super sweet. Looks like a keeper...

The sign that someone has 'made it' in life when their ride gets onto Prolly's site ;-) great pictures.
