Currently in the process of getting a custom titanium Albannach frame. Speaking one to one with the founder Jim about what I want, need, tyre clearance, little extras, mounts, aesthetics etc.
We have taken my very comfortable Giant TCR geo and worked back to create a Torragar frame more suited to gravel/adventure/multi week/month touring.
All this customness for £1500. Granted hardly cheap cheap but this is a "bike for life" in my eyes. I will qualify this by saying I haven't got the frame just very happy with how its going so far.
Im going 2 x 11 Shimano GRX 810 on this build having used the 600 version on my current gravel bike. Hydro with real nice wide levers FTW
My advice would be to let things get out of hand with this one, squire!
