It's here! I'ts here!

Was delivered this morning.

 

...But joh this steel frame provokes another feeling that carbon does not. I have a feeling it's gonna change my bike life????.

 

Hey gogo@ so you got the small. How tall are you? I'm allways unsure if I should get S or M bikes. I fall in that bracket between the two sizes and some brands even overlap the two right at my length. So it's going over to what I prever - bit small or bit big????. I'm telling myself the medium has a tad more damping in her longer curves.

 

Also want to drool over mine all the time.

 

PS. Will post pics later.

Let’s see that frame!! ????

I’m shorrtttt. So about 8cm shorter than you?! Sizing seems to be same as my roadbike (50cm) which is very comfortable, possibly a little bit longer in the reach, but then there’s bars and stems to play with.

Think I’m going to bite the bullet and do the gravel bars and 105 groupset and see how that goes. Found a special on the older 105 disc brake set that could work. So maybe a Hope bb as well (this is budget time!).

Then we will ride ????

Any tips or tricks to get those damn grommets in with the cable [emoji2959]

 

morning -- in most cases we just removed the grommets - they are not essential and some cables are just too damn tight to fit in the grommet - we did explain this to frame vendor but seems to have fallen on deaf ears with them.

Sorry no pics of the frame yet. Quite a mission to get them on here.

Dont have wheels yet but looked at it with my mtb wheels on and the seat set on the correct height. Beginning to think I should ride a small frame. Post only 10cm out of frame. ????

That's the best one we got ... the man was in a hurry to get his bike and go ride as soon as possible [emoji41]

 

Damn fine looking bike and neat build if I must say so myself [emoji106]e773f173173352e0937077b47b6e0cd4.jpg

Sweet!????

Farrnus, how do you rate your gravel tyres in the wet - I’m soft and don’t ride in the rain and I see the conditions for around the pot are wet - your tyres are awesome and have given me no hassle but untested in proper wet conditions - they pick up a layer of clay when I do get a bit of wet gravel

Hi - probably not a great option / for mud conditions you need a tread pattern that is wide and sparse knobs / more like a CX tyre? Or even an old school MTB 29er tyre in the 1.95 size would be suited
