I’ve been working on designing a gravel frame with big tire clearance for a while. This is the 3 version. The first version was more mtb like. Then I went to a traditional geo gravel frame with big tire clearance. Now it’s at v3 with same geo as the v2 but a bit more refined details like the printed yoke and seatpost binder.
This has room for a 29 x 2.25 tire, 46t chainring, with short 412-425 chain stay length.
Fully internal routing (get your sizing right, do it once, and it’s not bad. Routing hoses took me 10 min.
Hope y’all enjoy! Let me know if you have any questions

I love a capable adventure machine that doesn’t give up on looking fast, such a cool bike. I really enjoy following your builds.
it looks exquisite! where did you get all the parts?
Yum
Very cool and nice compromise regarding geo and tires. I’m planning to build a separate mtb-style bike, I have a Nordest Kutxo steel frame coming and my other bike is Masi ti gravel with more traditional sporty geometry.
Looks similar to my Vaast A/1. It does look a bit more refined as well.
Round steel tubes paired with a carbon fork look so cool, much better than skinny steel forks!
The non-tapered tubes look so refined after looking at so many wild-shaped carbon frames over the years. Well done.
Is this steel? What does a build like this weigh with wheels and all?
I think it looks quite svelte as well! This weighs 21 lbs even as it sits. Pretty good for the large tires and axs kit.
Dope!
That subtle, sensual bend of the seat tube…
Congrats. That’s a beauty.
I think I’m in love 😍
The seat tube and dropped chainstay combo, along with classic sized tubing give it a Hetchins vibe. Beautiful bike.
Head tube angle?
Congrats, this turned out truly amazing.
Steel? Yes please, can i get one?
Pure class. I don’t normally like colored stems but this looks really nice, a very well executed complement to the frame.
