Slow progress but it's now a rolling chassis.
Stripped down the current race bike and have moved over the bars/stem/seatpost/saddle/BB, fitted the new Force 1 crank and stuck the bike on its wheels.
First snag, there is not enough clearance to use the CL>6 Bolt adapter which touches the frame. No biggie, can swap discs between wheelsets and use CLs.
Next up, clearance.
Tried on the Hunt 4 Season wheels that currently have 33c Maxxis Raze fitted. It'll roll but not sure you'd want to ride with 2-3mm clearance. Will try out some 32c Gravel King SKs soon.
Here is where we got to.
Next up, need to switch the hoses on the Brake levers as they arrived in Euro setup.
After that I'll need to workout what the Kinesis bags of bits is and how to do the internal cable routing.
