Currently unrideable. This is in bits at the moment. The shifters were sacrificed to complete my Giant (below), so it's going back to bar ends. It also has this fancy new carbon fork - I've had it sat around for a couple of months now, but I needed to get some new bolts and get a matching crown race sorted. The old fork has got a Blackburn Outpost rack on it. So I'll have two options - steel fork + rack for touring, or carbon fork for gravelly CX bikepacking buzzword trips.
The 1×, 650b setup on this bike has been sacrificed for my girlfriend's bike. I will have to make do with a double and 700c × 30mm until I build up those extra 650b wheels and buy another 11-42 cassette.
However, I did try a 26" × 2.35" tyre in the (steel) fork and it fits easily! So I might try that for a laugh. 650b is dead.
