Another new project. My brother works in a bike shop & this Triban RC520 frame was going spare, just so happens to be my girlfriend's size, & with decommissioning the Croix de Fer, I figured I'd use the parts to build a gravely/CX bike for her. Quite pleasantly surprised that this frame fits 40mm tyres!
The groupset still has the front brake issue I agonised about a while back, which drove me to the Ritchey. She works in a bike shop & is essentially getting a bike for free, so told her that if she wants a new bike, she can solve that problem. The mechanics at her shop might have a better chance of success than the bike shop I tried.
Still needs a few things - headset, chain, appropriately sized finishing kit, things to use hoses on cable stops etc. Hopefully finished by the weekend.
(Geo looks slacker than it is as there's no headset currently).
