Finally, put together a gravel/cyclocross/commuter bike with a big help from the spare parts bins.

  • Frame: 2016 Brodie Romax (single speed), 7046 Superlight
  • Fork: TRP Carbon CX fork
  • Stem: Zipp Service Course SL
  • Handlebar: Zipp Service Course SL80
  • Headset: Cane Creek 40
  • Seatpost: Thomson Elite
  • Saddle: Specialized Power
  • F. Derailleur: Shimano Dura Ace FD-9000
  • R. Derailleur: Shimano GRX RD-RX810
  • Shifters: Shimano Dura Ace ST-9001
  • Brakes: TRP Spyre C
  • Rotors: Shimano XT RT-MT800
  • BB: Wheels MFG PF30 Outboard Ceramic
  • Crankset: Shimano Dura Ace FC-9000, 52/34T
  • Cassette: Shimano Ultegra CS-R8000, 11-32T
  • Chain: Dura Ace CN-HG901, 11 speed
  • Wheels: HED Ardennes Plus
  • Pedals: Crankbrothers Candy 7
  • Extra: Wolf Tooth Seatpost Clamp, Wolf Tooth Ti bottle cage bolts, K-EDGE Chain Catcher

Only new purchase were brakes, rotors and rear derailleur.

Should I ordered Zipp SL70 XPLR bars? Any thoughts on this handlebar? My main purpose will be an all rounder bike – mostly paved roads with some gravel. 80% road, 20% gravel or rough roads. Maybe put fenders on to make it into a commuter. Thoughts? I do have a proper road bike – Specialized Tarmac

Currently, I taped random bar tapes I had available before I commit to some quality tape based on handlebar purchase.

Sorry for the lengthy post
