Time for an update. I've been tinkering around in silence for a bit.
First thing: Wheels are done and they are beatiful. Martin / Arkane did a great job. I set them up tubeless with some WTB Resolutes 650b x 42. Looking at the clearance with these knobbies I feel like I could have gone all in for the Crust namesake bubble and get some slick Ultradynamico Cavas 650b x 47.99574838347238[...]. We'll see. Maybe when I need new tyres or in the summer or when I am bored...
Next up: I sticked some parts to the frame and my main goal for now is to get it in a rideable state. I am desperate to try this bike and see if I actually like it before I cash out on some more bling parts. Cranks, pedals, front light and brake levers are placeholders for now. I also found some decent mudguards in the shed. Used them on a 650b build before they will do the job for now.
