Can’t remember if I posted much about this frame, its another gravel fixed frame.
This one has a slacker head angle and more bb drop. Should make it better suited to gravel riding as the crackled frame is very steep and tight so my plan had been to keep this new one and move on the crackle painted one but the lore I ride that one, the more I love it.
Anyway, this new one will be one of the frames/bikes I take to Bespoked which is meant to be happening right now. I did put this on the back burner to get the truck done once I got word Bespoked was postponed but it’s definitely good to not have had to rush it!
I like the vertical dropouts and ebb I put in my first klunker frame so have done the same here. Dropouts saves from a frame I cut up for other stuff. Driveside chainstay yoke to avoid needing to simple the stay like I did on the crackled frame.
The bilam style bits came about as a happy accident, I cocked up attaching the headtube/downtube sub assemble to the seattube/bb and had to chop it off!
