  • Made my first rucksack today...

  • Also realised I never posted a picture of my last bike build despite having promised @iamnot who I bought the frame from an 'after' shot. So here's the Paul Milnes I built into a gravel bike for my buddy Miles (look how happy he was with it after he worked out how to use the gears). I sewed the saddle bag too but did't take any good pictures.



  • Nice one dude! Solid build :)

  • Nice build, nice thing to do for a pal. And the backpack looks good too, any more pics?

  • Thanks, and yes.



  • Cheers man. It's a really cool frame! Went with trusty old Sora for him.

  • Built a new thing to hang some bags on...

  • Pic not working for me but I’m excited to see it. Also the rucksack looks dope

  • Sorry! Updated the link.

  • Uh, that looks very, very good!
    Maybe a silver seat clamp to match the headset?

  • Very, very nice! Love these frames

    Maybe a silver seat clamp to match the headset?

    agreed

  • Yeah that's a good idea. I'll rebuild the wheels with some better hubs than the novatecs eventually. Is silver hubs and spokes with carbon rims a thing or would that be too much?

    And thanks!

  • I think that sounds like a good looking idea - the red hubs are not a bad look imo though.
    It might be a little too tame without a splash of colour.

  • So good, I've always wanted a bike in this shade of green. What tyres are they?

  • Silver hubs and black spokes would be nicer imo.

    Nice frameset though!

  • Yeah I like the red more than I thought I would. These are tempting...

  • Yeah the paint is lovely. Shade shifts depending on the light too. If it's ever sunny again it will really pop I imagine.

    Tyres are 30mm Jack Brown mile munchers, on there for the winter. Going to get some mudguards too, probably PDW.

    When I rebuild the wheels I'll do a 650b set with the novatecs. Looks like the frame will take ~45mm which should be good for summer 'gravel'.

  • They look smart too!

    Something like this would be proper flashy though!

  • lovely bike, average tyres :(

  • :( Winter innit. If they turn out to be rubbish I'll get some pro4 endurance or gp 4 season.

  • Winter

    ah fair

  • Very cool

  • Wow. Seems they exist in disc flavour, but I'm guessing they're not actually obtainable. I'll probably just go for bitex or hope tbh.

  • Silver hubs and silver spokes on a black rim is classy. It would look so good on this

  • At first I thought Paul Components had produced some in the Van Halen anodizing, which would have been awesome and more in tune with your colour scheme - but those Phils look very good also.
    Probably made of unobtainium though - I didn't even try to find a price xD
