Cheers! I was looking at this... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stone-CX-Road-Single-Chainring-BCD-110mm-Narrow-Wide-For-SHIMANO-SRAM-FSA-Rotor/283205206357?var=583625433107

@Landslide its a double chains but I'm going to bin off the smaller ring so run it single...

@fredtc that hope looks ok, a bit garish, but ok...

Would ride!

looks fast

From the categorie gravel without the cost. Added some 38mm Gravelking slicks to my Vortrieb Cyclocross Frame.

Could you please let me know which fork you are using? it's just what I've been looking for!

A guy a work with had their families new ti gravel frame on show this weekend in Bristol

It is a Wanderer (Old german bike company) Touring fork that I got unpainted as it is for little money on ebay. It was listed by a small bikeshop that had it lying around several years ago.
Its made out of aluminium and weights a ton. I don't think it is something you can find easily these days.

Somehow I ended up buying this Gunnar Crosshairs today, it's just... perfect.

Super dope

finally finished of building this, gravel n=1 in road and gravel mode.
Most of the parts coming from the forum.

That's well nice but I'd remove the spacers and put a 6° stem

is slammage still a thing ?
I may try other stems but at the moment i am pretty fond of an horizontal thomson

Just an opinion, if possible I like the stem in the same angle than the toptube

Finally :)

cranks are pretty ugly

46/30 or 48/31
shimano subcompact dreams are real

Hopefully they have the sense to sell a subcompact crankset for <£100. Commuters and gravelbois everywhere rejoice

46/30 28 rear would be my dream ratio. Switch to single 38 front for cross racing. No more half kilo cassettes

I'll definitely be thinking about moving back to a double if it's reasonably priced

Though tbf I'll still have a big-ish cassette. Bags and legs dictate it

48/31 make the most sense for everything else, paired with 11-28 get you a very usable gears range than you would get with 50/34

This is what I'm doing except with 11-36 for more touring ratio. I use a downtube shifter on the front ring so that I can swap over to single ring in a few minutes

dunno how the chainrings got smaller but the crank is like 110g heavier than r8000 50-34? annoying.

still great news. too bad the gs rd doesn't (apparently?) work with 2x so we can have 2x with an 11-40 in the rear.
