  I wonder if Orlowski is still building? Not much update on his instagram and fb page.

  I would suggest to hold up until one of those shops release their Ti bikes with sram apex axs. Should be within your budget i think.

  Spexcel- no issues at all. A mate have one and I’ve seen it and found it punches above it price class.

  Just wondering if my search skills have yielded the maximum results, or not.

  Thanks!

  I was thinking a 44mm downtube would look better but im worried the ride would be too stiff.

  OG evkin stem- for road riding it does the job well. For gravel- not so much; i notice the bar is slightly rotated down when i go over big holes/rocks. Anyway i would still use it on gravel as the rotated down was an isolated occurrence.

  Stem bolts- i didnt even bother to change the bolt so its the rainbow bolts on there.

  250 quids for JT GTF? Wow got mine around 160 quids but that was a year a go tho.

  Yes not working in the wet is disappointing. Not sure if i didnt set it up correctly or lousy cable setting but it has happened twice on 100km wet rides.

  Im going full hydro soon as i managed to score sram force hydro mech 2x to replace my sram force x JT GTF.

  I dont think its a faulty ones. It’s an OK brake for what it is. I just think it would require more regular maintenance, use good compressionless cables than full hydro.

  If you know how to work on your bike, i guess this shouldn’t be a problem.
