Can you get flatmount to postmount adapters?

No but you can the other way round ..

Enve GRD is also post mount.

You could do what @xDOMx did with his field, get the frame ready for flat mount, get some forks that are easy to buy at the moment like the TRP or something, buy a front post mount caliper and keep the flat mount caliper when the forks are widely available.

Its a catch up game for everyone.

GOD DAMN IT.

(your chinabike thing looks sweet BTW!)

Looks to be flat mount on the Enve website?
(The prototypes at NAHBS last year were postmount tho)

OR get the flat mount Kinesis Tracer fork, everything except thru axle.

Shit yeah, when I googled it the images were all post mount ..

Yep, the Enve GRD was originally intended to be PM, but Enve re-engineered them to be FM, which AIUI is one of the reasons for the manufacturing delay. The GRD looks like a damn fine fork (even if I'd prefer it if it had internal routing) but they seem to be impossible to get hold of at the moment.

Thank you, it rides exceptionally well for a £1500 bike .. now has Compass 38mm tyres.

I have flat mount rear post mount front on my caad12 as that's what Cannondale designed- means I have a spare, never used flat mount calliper in a box

Do you have a spare Enve GRD fork in a box?

Seen the Columbus Futura Gravel in the catalog but never on a build.

no mudguard mount

You sure?

What are the eyelets for on the back of the fork legs and the back of the fork crown?

ah didnt spot those on columbus site .. well there you have it! The holy trinity.

not sure

I am a graphic designer, I dont read, max I can do is cmd + f but thats an image ..

some images the mounts are on there, some arent. Looks good though.
also seems to be limited availability.

Do you even OPEN?

Do you have a spare Enve GRD fork in a box?

I have tried and failed to buy a GRD for two, maybe three bikes now.

NS Bikes RAG+

the 'gravel' version has the mounts

nice pinnacle ..

Similar, but no dropped DS chainstay. I keep on being very tempted by the Open UP but I've managed to resist so far. This state of affairs may not continue, however.

Well, decision made, order placed :0)

A Sequoia base model, in safety black, will be arriving at my LBS on the 27th, apparently......red 'X's' will be appearing on my calendar from tomorrow!

I found 28's at 45 psi good but not great on gravel- ideal for the mix of tarmac and gravel you find in Colorado, but if it was pure gravel I'd want larger volume at a lower pressure. It's made me wonder about rolling resistance and how it changes with tyre size (if it does- I'm making an assumption), and whether bigger tyres are simply a better choice (if we ignore frontal area).
