Been building something a bit different over the last couple of months. Have followed suite as many others and have built up a gravel/bike packing adventure bike 🙃
Picked up the frame on eBay a while back, it’s a Fairlight Faran 1.0. I’ve already gathered the majority of the parts for it, I’m a sucker for nice bits and really ended up going down a rabbit hole on the search for good looking parts. I’ve never built up a bike with (mostly) new parts before so kinda let me self splash out on this one.
Stumbled across the Chris King wheels on eBay and at the same time also spotted the matching headset which started the blue/teal vibe. Later found a Salsa seatclamp on the same colour. Bars are the newish Nitto gravel coupled with a Simworks stem which I got on the forum. White Industries G30 cranks with 38t ring, GRX 812 mech on the rear, have ordered the Garbaruk cage mod so I can run a 50t cassette. Obviously it’s in blue along with their cassette, also in blue… Set of Paul Klampers for brakes as I am a sucker for simplicity and they just look so good. At the moment just running a cheap seatpost and a Brooks C15 I had going spare.
Currently just waiting on the Garbaruk bits to arrive which had a long lead time. Also planning on getting one of these racks which I really like the look of. Seems like it would nicely support a decent sized bar bag which also allowing for some smaller stuff to be attached below.
Plan is to use the bike for some gravel bits here and there as well as some longer bike packing trips next year. My partner has also just put down a deposit on a Faran 2.0 which will turn up next April so might also show the progress of that when it arrives!
