Gravel // CX // Winter Frame - XL please.

Posted on
  • Apparently my Sl7 is not a wet bike. So i need something i can call a winter bike, capable of taking an offroad shortcut if necessary aka gravel. 58-60ish.

    The Mrs is away next week. What can i sneak into the shed in her absence?

    Must have discs.

    I currently have:
    DA cranks with 46t ring.
    Di2 XT gearset, with everything but drop shifters (Story of my life).
    160mm Hope rotor x 1.

    That's justification enough for a build right?

  • "What can i sneak into the shed in her absence?"

    lol
    lol
    lol
    fabulous

  • Bump.

    She leaves today. 9 days and counting.

    Winterise me. Or force me to use a SL7.

  • Get a carbonda and build with Rival AXS

  • LaVita?

  • I dont fancy your chances. Took me ages. Seems to be a dearth of such XL frames

  • that size L open UP in the classifieds could fit the bill ?

  • I have 9 days to get this built and hidden in the shed. No time for messing about with ships and big metal boxes.

    Did I mention it needs painting Snake Eye green so it’s inconspicuously like the other?

    @GLWS saw that and too small :(

    I’m actually looking at the Merlin Gravel Frameset for a cheap runaround.

    £ 389.95.

    Thru axles
    Flat mounts
    Threaded BB
    And mounting points!

  • How about a Topstone? Seems to have been a flood of those up for sale lately…

  • Because I don’t want to be another lefty Douchebag*.

    *Sell me the slate plz. Kthanksbye.

    In all seriousness, I’ve gotta build this cheap. Or you can sell me the slate. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • Hahaha I’m really enjoying it, even more than I’d imagined. #sorrynotsorry

    Topstone lower models aren’t lefty. Seems like it was the bike of choice of newbies during lockdown.

  • Would a Kepler Disc 2019 frame set with steel and carbon legged fork be what you are looking for? Size 60cm with hope headset and bottom bracket, saddle and post.

  • Had it been the thru-axle model yes, alas QR :(

    Sorry! GLWS :)

  • Shame, I have wheels too haha

  • Ending this search.

    I should just buy some mud guards and just ride my bike.,
