Trek Checkpoint, bought in NZ.

 

Edit: why I bought it:

Not a carbon frame (carbon fork though)

2x... Gearset

Disk brakes

Many many options on frame already to mount things. (For bike packing)

hayleyearth... now there’s a name i haven’t heard in years.

I haven’t had a puncture in years of gravel riding . Specialized tyres seem the biz.

Mid 90s Zini steel frame, built up as a gravel bike by Emile from Whippet Cycles.

 

Rides so well and perfect for a bit of light gravel.

 

Just need tanwall Panaracers to complete it

 

Perfect as it is!!!! ... Awesome build!

 

 Many happy km's to you ! :thumbup:

That looks totally sick. How the heck did he get that rear wheel into those chain stays? Some cold steel tubing compression?

Because it's a 650B?
