Looking good!

I have contacted a paint shop for a wet paint quote. Well see where this goes.

In fork news I resurrected a four year old mail thread and it seems to have made me deicide what fork to go with. Cant say what right now, but more on this later!

Thanks for sharing @SoYaap

Cerakote could be an option. I will put it up for discussion. @SoYaap Vetra is the builder.

Yes, we will see about wet paint or powder.

After considering a couple of options, our own Huls included, I put down the deposit to have a frame made to my measurements by a builder in Berlin!

Will be 1x electronic, so probably Sram, Rival or Force. Would love Shimano but wires.

I am to deicide like right now weather I want a carbon fork or a steel segmented or unicrown. Seeing as my last plastic fork was what instigated this it seems like steel would be the smart move. This also means it can be powder coated. I am a bit clueless right now. Techy me wants carbon, utilitarian me wants steel. Like to go fast with a light bike me wants carbon. As to ride quality etc i don’t know whats what.

Will be some sort of rando/gravel much like my last bike. My aim is to do more ultras so comfort is of the essence. 40mm slicks and fenders, 50mm knobbies kind of vibes.

Thanks! I forgot to say but would like:

Semi-internal brake hose
Internal dynamo routing
Dynamo through steerer and back
Fender mounts (extra extra ideally by the drop out)

Thank you, I will ask Fairlight if they will sell the Campa fork separate and also look into Speeder!

I am debating steel fork / carbon fork because of this. The price of the Enve fork is a bit much tbh. But also a fair bit lighter than a steel fork… But then a steel fork could be powder coated… Much to think about.

Will be building a new bike in 2025.

Are there any carbon forks rated to take racks other than the enve adventure and seido mgv?

You should do 1 of those golf ball aero pits on the head tube.

Registration for Unmapping: Sweden (2025) opened last night.

There are two set routes, 2.350 or 2.150 kilometers from Kiruna in the north to Smygehuk in the south. 20.000+ or 18.000- meters of climbing. 80% or 70% non-tarmac.

~250 GBP to register at the moment. Price will increase.

Thanks, some retailers sell mullet set-ups… not sure if its for me. The mtb derailleurs work just as good with a smaller cassette?

My biggest gripe is that i think the force stuff looks a bit shit with oil-slick stickers..

Late november, time for gearing, no?

I am trying to plan my next bike. Will be sort of gravel/audax/ultra do it all much like my last one. Ie clearance for 50mm fenders or tyres depending on surface and time of year. I am considering going electronic and 1x anyhow and leaning towards sram now because no cables and a pretty good deal.

Ive never had either electronic or 1x (on this kind of bike) what are your experiences with sram rival and force axs /axs xplr?

Sweet! Good looking bag ofc. Looks purposeful

Yes, I am in contact with them. Thanks

Thanks! Anyone have recommendations for eu builders?

Anyone riding 50ish mm carbon rims with a son hub?

Im about to build a new rando/gravel which will mostly run 38mm tires but also take 47mm and I am intrigues by the latest generation of wide deep carbon rims.

How this coming along?

Thats 1200g lighter than my frame hehe. Not bad!

I’ll think about it. Thanks!

Frame and fork only.
International shipping to Sweden.

Best regards,

That’s the threaded side, the drive side. The only thing mounted there was the wheel.

My guess is that there’s a metal nut glued in there. The question is if it is going to stay in there…

So… after having had a beautiful pair of GB guards in the basement for two years I was finally going to go through the trouble of adding mud guard mounts to the fork blades.

What do I find if not a very symmetrical crack around the right fork drop out.

Any suggestions? I started sanding the paint away to get a look at the plastic.

Edit: added pic 2 after sanding. Does not look promising.

Do you want to want a new bike?
