First off it’s not a fat frame, it’s a mid 2000s Scott Aspect 26” mtb after they started the hydro formed alu frames. The stickers are self deprecating for the bike lugging 110kg of me around. Some friends wanted to do some more gravel riding so I thought I’d have a go putting together my own bike. I was supposed to finish building it today but forgot to check/didnt realise that the grx810 brifters use a 9mm flare nut not the 8mm I got with the brake lines. But as it is so nearly done I wanted to post a pic anyway. Honestly so pleased with how it looks and in a couple more days I can finish it off. I’ve tinkered before but this is the first bike I’ve built up from scratch, so satisfying.
