After learning the ropes with Caren, Matt and Ted I've gone solo and started out frame building on my own as Hesson Labs. Having already completed my fist customer bike and having a few more in the pipeline this is a thread discussing my own personal frame I'm currently coming to the end of building.
The basic specs are:
44mm Headtube
T47 68mm BB
142x12mm Flat mount Dropouts (paragon machine works)
2" Tyre Clearance whilst still using standard road cranks.
The tubing is a combination of Columbus Life and Zona with 29er stays being the key to tyre clearance.
Forks will be Columbus Futura Gravel (although I'm having second thoughts on this due to clearance issues)
And the frame will have minimal hardware:
4x Bottle bosses
1x External gear routing on the non-drive-side
1x Internal brake routing on the drive side
To build it up I'm using all the parts off my old Isen except for wheels due to needing bolt thru front and rear - I'm open to cheap suggestions!
So that's:
Apex 1 cable shifters
Rival 1 mech & cassette 11-42
FSA SL-K Light Cranks Lacquered Clear w 42t Narrow Wide
TRP Spyres
160mm F&R floating rotors
Deda Super Zero carbon seat post
Fizik Arione
Parts Bin cockpit to find what fits and upgrade later
