Also just realised that the tyre size on that BikeCad is wrong; those are 2.1's in the drawing but it'll be taking 700x45's so the guards will actually fit ;)
Wheels: Chris King to DT Swiss
Tyres: WTB Riddler 45c
Saddle: Fizik Arione
Seatpost: Salsa
Bar Tape: Fizik
Got some King Cage anything cages and bottle cages too. Plan is to run without a frame bag for bike packing; saddle bag, dry bags on fork and bar bag only. Pedals will be whatever I dig out of the cupboard first, probably some old Time ATACs.
I've never had a gravel bike that I've been happy with. My previous Soma Wolverine And Surly Ogre were great bikes but neither of them felt inspirational to ride. I'm confident this is going to hit the spot.
