Just a quick update on this topic, managed to find an XL Titan Racing Switch Expert alloy on the Hub, advertised under road bikes for R13k. Currently in transit and should arrive in the next day or so. Thanks for the help everyone!!

its a fantastic bike, Guy. will certainly fit the need on the trainer.

my friend has one and has been so happy with it, save for a few groupset issues:
46/36 is a peculiar combination - gearing neither high or low enough for any sigle purpose (i gave him an FSA Omega 38/32).

11-28 cassette is criminal for a gravel bike.

the microshift RD maxes on a 30t cassette - he got it sorted on a 34 with an extender, but it basically disintegrated over time, and does not handle the rough stuff - replaced with a 105 RD.

Thanks Ross! That’s the plan. If I do a gruppo upgrade will go 1x for sure. Mate of mine offered me his 1 x 12 SRAM Apex (brand new off his new Arcadex) for R10k when I was considering a frame-build
