Hey Community!
This is the first build I'm gonna post here. I just need a bike to make some nice touring and since I got stuck here about a year ago, I thought I'd share the experience.
Normally I mostly ride fixed or ss bikes in the northern part of germany. But for commuting reasons, the urge to go on a trip by bike and the wind, which sucks if you're on a fixed gear. I have to build a functional, but sexy gravel/touring/communting bike.
It will be my first build with gears ( I own some bikes with them, though) and the first bike I own and build with through axles and disc brakes.
After some time of looking around, falling in love with bikes that are sold out and/or shit (Brothers Cycles Kepler Special Edition). I instantly fell in love with the Veloci Cycle Disko. My original plan was to upgrade some 90s MTB, but now everything is on modern, good available standards and i can just build it.
Now for the interesting part, I already got/ordered some parts which are:
Frame: Veloci Cycle "Disko"
Headset: Wolftooh components Premium Upper and Lower
Stem: Thomspon Elite Silver
Bar: Salsa Cowchipper 42cm
Seatpost: Thompson Elite Silver
Seatpost clamp: Wolftooth components
BB: I forgot, some good 113mm BSA
Crank: Shimano Dura Ace 7402
Chainring: Wolftooth components 130bcd 42t
Cassette: SRAM 10-42
Wheelset: Hunt Mason 650B
Saddle: Good and trusted Brooks C15 all weather
For the group and brakes I most probably end up with either Rival 1 or Force 1, a friend of mine works for SRAM and will look what she can do.
And there it is right now on my wall
