Poseidon FX framesets are cheap. So i built one up, at least a little inspired by gravel gang. I’m going to drop to a 1.9 in the rear instead of the 2.1, and i need a longer stem. Otherwise, short of swapping my eggbeaters on, this is done and ready for a year of gravel races.
I did 8 gravel races last year, 6 of them on a single speed. This year I think 5 or 6 will be the total with much less travel – doing them all fixed this year though. Including the DaMN (day across Minnesota. 240 miles).

Build list:
iro hubs to wtb kom light i23’s w Sapim laser spokes.
Miche primato cranks
Fancy 49t chainring i got from a bro here (don’t worry, the stronglight cranks will still be put to good use)
King headset
Thompson seatpost and stem
Brooks c13 saddle
Panaracer sk 650b x 2.1
Thomson carbon all mountain bars.
Some shiny, seemingly decent quality but unbranded 18t cog.
My eggbeater SL’s will make their way onto here eventually, but we’ll be lucky to see temps above zero for the next week or so, so no hurry.
It’s such a shame that the Poseidon FX framesets aren’t available in Europe.
Nice build. Enjoy!
