I haven't built up from scratch in a while but came into this Gorilla Monsoon frameset and was inspired. Long term I plan to add bags and racks as appropriate, not necessarily for bike packing but definitely for some long day trips exploring.
I had planned to keep it pretty budget overall but made some splurges like the Klamper in the rear because there was no way the BB7 I had could be adapted nicely. 1×10 with an 11-42 plus a 40t chainring up front make it fairly capable of not exactly fast.
I think I'd like to try a Wakka stocking plate up front to fashion a fly rod holder – anyone using these and care to share an opinion?
