Well, what a co-incidence.
I've got one of these on order, in fluro yellow as well.
Frame should arrive this week.
First new bike for 10 years!
Have gone with the standard Kinesis build kit for the moment, including cable Spyres. (Prefer cable having had lots of buggering about with previous hyd brakes).
There is a bit in a another thread Gravel ( Gnarmac ) Bikes, post #1218.
I'm gonna check for this and run a tap in each thread etc.
Can't really answer your question about rims as I've gone with the std build kit.
Tyres. I'm planning on fitting Panaracer Gravel King to start with, but open to change over time, possibly then the SK variant. Tubed to start, but again over time will upgrade to tubeless.
I have a more general question about chain lube though. Currently using a WD40 product, but always seems to stay 'wet' and so collects crud all the time.
Any recommendation for a 'dry' type lube?
