Really fun project for a bike that can pretty readily take singletrack and gravel with ease. This is a size XL Cervelo ZHT-5 frame which is ultra light. I got a Cervelo HB16 bar taken off of a Cervelo Aspero-5, it looks very wacky but functionally awesome.
The chainring is XX SL 38t which is the max for the frame. The rear groupset is all Eagle XX1. There’s Reserve 28XC wheels and 2.4” Dubnitals borrowed from my Santa Cruz Blur. In the future I’ll have Light Bicycle build a deeper set of wheels with Boost hubs. The fork is the older 100mm SID SL Ultimate and the brakes are Level Ultimate calipers with Rival hoods to keep the reach short. The cranks are Force Wide which do in fact fit on the frame just fine.
Not sure if y’all really want to see drop bar MTBs on here but this thing exists and it is wicked fast and comfy.
