Nextie gravel bike build

[nick_the_wheelbuilder]

I've been importing and building wheels with Nextie rims and hubs since 2018, and they've been brilliant.

Finally I've had the opportunity to try one of their new gravel frames, busy putting it together for a customer.

The frames ship with thru-axles, headset, seatpost and clamp, integrated bar/stem, fork, UDH and headset.

It's set up for full internal hose and cable routing.

I'm busy building the bike with:

• GRX Di2 1x12 groupset
• Nextie CGX 40mm deep, 25mm inner width wheels (1220g before tyres)
• Selle Italia seat
• Vittoria tyres

Some initial images. Enjoy.

I like everything besides all those bolts on the frame.

The rack/bottle cage/fender mounts?

Those make the bike so versatile. Is it the aesthetics you don't like? I think they look fantastic as well as being practical

Officially it has clearance for 47c tyres, but with the frame I'm working on, I can see there's clearance for at least 50c tyres. Actual width between the narrowest part of the chainstays is 60mm.

70mm width in the fork.

It can take up to 48t single chainring and any standard double chainset.

Frame weighs around 1150g with 520g fork.

I reckon if they didn't add the attachment bosses it would limit some people's intended use.

I am considering buying a set of carbon wheels for my gravel bike - is there somewhere I can look/get idea around pricing?

You're in for around R20-28k, depending on options.

I just built a set for this gravel bike at 1220g with 40mm deep rims for around R24k.

At today's exchange rate, around R22k for frame, fork, bar/stem, headset, seatpost, clamp, thru-axles

I get what they’re there for and ofcourse they serve a purpose. I just dont like them. Im also not into bike packing so I would never need any of those mounts. This is my personal preference.

Ja

There are more sleek racing bikes without them than light weight frames with them, but it is great how we all find different things pleasing to the eye.

After commuting by bike in the UK and Ireland I am 100% behind racks and mud guards/fenders.

I also think a bike with a well thought out system looks way sexier than a same same racing bike.....

Racing is so boring 🤣

Yes indeed 👍🏻

I’m still waiting for the rotors and pedals to arrive, but here’s a decent shot of the whole bike.
