ok so a few updates…
i have put about 3k km on this thing since i built it
i absolutely love it
one misstep i had with the initial build was i went with 175 cranks
i pre-ordered raketa cranks in 170 with a custom ano chainring back in december…they just came last week. long story short-not the best customer service but the product is incredible. so far, worth the wait. we’ll see how they hold up.
onto some pics:
-
• #8
The attention to detail on this bike is on another level
-
• #9
It’s super cool.
Can’t decide if I prefer with / without tan walls.

I've been building this one in my head for a few years. Owning and operating my own shop past 2 years means I survive off the short stuff, but I've been dreaming of long, epic days on the saddle. Long days to me means all surfaces, any trail. I wanted something that had the gearing-the tire-the bags for long days, but wasn't slow, heavy, and annoying to ride (ew). I carry State at my shop, and I got the dealer email about these Carbon Allroad framesets and my mind wouldn't shut up about it. The frameset is the cheapest part of the build, but man am I impressed with the fit and finish. I have like 8 single speeds so I figured why not go straight to 12 with this one. TRP 12 speed shifter/der and a Leonardi 9-50 cassette. Garbaruk up front. Flat bar because that is what I like. Those are SQlab carbon bars. I am keen on them. Hope XCR PRo X2 jammers. Flat bar/flat mount is hard to find packaged together, these are amazing. Stem is the Paul pulled from my Steamroller. White Industries CLD in the rear and a Son up front. Laced to Light Bicycle carbos. Sim Works peregrine spokes. 650x55 Rennies and carbon fenders from Velo duo. What am I missing? edit: Exposure lamp. Oh and the bags are custom by a buddy of mine. Schraven Needleworks. I think that's it. Here's the pics:
