Nice! Deep wheels suit the huge frame.

50mm deep yes ;)

Maximum tyres are 700*38c

I might try 650b some day when I go fixed on this

Thanks

42-47c

The connoisseur’s choice.

Ok bridleway bossman.

Double bugger then my end... may need to rethink again... might take a punt on a Niner

Canyon was amazing, but I really wanted something which could run 650b too. I also wasn't sure whether I was happy with max tire clearance at 42mm...

Whilst I love the hover bar I could see how it would be problematic to live with inability to adjust easily and mount lights computer etc (they do have propreitary mounts).

Bottom line was I didn't want to spend £4.5k on a grav grav bike and I realised I could use my cycle to work scheme in independent shops hence buying Fugio 20.

They come up on eBay...

This will be a big hit to the “people who ride too fast on shared use and tow paths collective”, not sure they will ever recover

On-One doing a full carbon gravé build for sub 2k (apologies if a repost). Bargain or bullshit?

Open mould, basic wheels, decent groupset but still outdated. Better bikes at that price point, I'd say.

Jumping on the MTB tyre hype train and asking: does anyone want to take some 2.2 27.5 maxxis ardent race (the nice ones which are about £35 new) off me? They came on some wheels I bought but have barely been used. I'm going to stick them on eBay but if I can save the hassle I will. I'd be after £23 posted.
I'd keep them for days like yesterday (see photo) but they don't fit my bike.

Would need to factor in some additional ££ for a respray

Yeah looking at it again, all I can see is this

I know someone with one and it looks even worse IRL

What's the downside of open mould?

Nothing at all, but that exact frameset will be available from somewhere else for less money and without the 'paint job'. No snobbery about open mould at all!

I'm a big fan of that On-one paintjob. It's proper nasty, as it should be.

Silly aero wheels, dynamo and tractor tyres. Shame it doesn't fit 2.1" for maximum points

Check, check, check.

Three things;

Which Tubus is that Tubus?

Why is your headlightlight pointing at your toes?

Lovely frame!

Nice 👍

Sorry to bring this up again as I'm sure we're all bored of the convo....BUT

these bars are stupid! Just get a mtb bar, you'll be better in most situations

Tubus Vega Evo rack for commuting. I made the chainstays a bit longer than necessary given the ST angle so the top arms are at max extension. My only slight regret with the frame geometry. I think the front light is roughly right.. haven't ridden it in the dark yet to check. And very happy with the frame! Local builder here in Boulder.

@Hulsroy cheers ears. It's been 18 months from frame order to wheels built.
