Ok, here it is the accomplishement!
Honestly i had in mind something less "black" coloured, but this is it.
I'm going to ride it a bit while i need to chose/fix:
fenders, i like Gilles Berthoud ones, but any help is apreciated
front derailleur can't push the chain onto large chainring:
Looks like it's a chainline problem? phisically it can't reach the outer ring, i know tiagra has a max teeth "jump" of 20 and i'm over it, but it's not like it can't climb the chainring, but simply can't reach "it" that far outside; cables are thigh
I like the bikepacking style, i'm thinking of making my own frame bag.
Perhaps i need some very small DIY dimp on chainstays, feels like i have only 1mm real on each side. I need to sort out the force applied by the QR, because if i start on pedals, putting too much force, the rear wheels slide a bit to the left and it rubs.
The brakes after being set works decently, at least better than the mechanical BB5 i had in the past on another bike. Ok, not hydraulics i'm used to ofcourse, but i'll say the last word after some km and descent, maybe loaded.
Runs smooth and confy on gravel, 130km done at the moment and nothing exploded yet, better pictures soon, these are not very clear, sorry.
