Put some bits on the ALICE at long last. Aim: get it built, make it nice later.
The build is stuff I already had around + some bits salvaged from the Kona, other than some £40 brakes and a twelve quid shifter. I'd intended it as a kind of like-for-like ish replacement for the Kona, but I can't really hold drop bar levers very comfortably at the moment so figured I'd try it as a flat bar gravel thing, for the time being. Maybe longer idk.
The geo is kind of weird, super relaxed ST and HT for this kind of thing, high BB for that true 'on bike' feel.
It's quite short, keen to try it with drops. Feels like a mini-big bro (bro?), riding it b2b with the Singular, this is a lot stiffer, kind of less eager? somehow, but seems fun.
Next up - replacement dynamo + lights and some VO 63mm mudguards.
