Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

This is the first time i dont hate a Lauff. Looks so much better when the rigid part matches the frame color.

Yup had forgotten about BB30, maybe due to having one I have put the experience to the back of my memory in the hope not to relive it, until now.

Ignore the build? That spec is genius

It doesn’t have a power meter

What's going on with that spider/chainring?

eeWings only come in 110bcd, gates belt rings only come in 130bcd so it's an adapter

Some good choices. Unfortunately, my mind has been poisoned by carbon fibre bikes, so seeing metal, non-Ti frames cost what they do seems off to me, although I can understand to an extent why they cost what they do.

Yes I do keep looking at CF bikes but fully understand why custom made steel bikes are more than the off the shelf versions but they aren’t far off in pricing either

On one, singular, stooge

Don’t the wings use a sram 3 bolt? Coulda used a 130 spider?

Yup.

We don't shill for Thorn nearly enough.

That's because unfortunately, they have little sex appeal. Great personalities though.

Today I learned that barrel nuts are also called Knarps - does anyone know of a Knarp that can be used in a OneUp 27.2 dropper post in order that the left hand SRAM shifter can be used as the actuator for said dropper?

To answer that^ it appears that OneUp will sell you a cable kit that includes the part, but it’s on the small parts listing for the first and second versions of the post, not the third.

Probably would have worked yeah. Hadn't come across that.
The customer also supplied the cranks for that build, we worked with what we had.

its okay, you can reveal that its me

Yeah fair enough. It works and that’s most important

I didn’t know you could sell bikes on Reddit

Good Lord! You've just filled my 2024 bad bike build pics quota - not sure I can tolerate more. It looks like an expensive spare parts bin concoction.

Where's the classified? =D

I quite like it. I bet it’s very light
