Picked up a Primos Dame frame on black friday to use up some spare parts I had laying around, but then I came across this Twin Six a few weeks ago (paid a little too much, but I HAD TO have it). So I swapped all the parts from the Primos over to this one, and I’ll probably sell the primos to make some of my money back.
I already have two other gravel bikes, so I’ll probably end up getting some skinnier road tires and switch over to bigger chainrings and a smaller cassette and make this my “road” bike. It’s probably a size too big, though with the absurdly long seat tube on this thing, it’s not as big as it looks. The reach is actually a hair shorter than my main gravel bike, a 56cm Marin Gestalt that I feel fits me perfectly at 5’11”-ish.
* GRX 2×10
* brooks carbon c13 saddle
* Fulcrum rapid red 500 wheels with 45c gravelking slicks (they’re pretty tight in there)
* salsa stem and cowbell bars
still gotta pick up some bar tape and cables/ hoses to finish her up. Though we’re supposed to get another snow storm here in MN this week, so I’m not in a huge rush.

I do love my Standard Rando! Nice find. Also good to know it will fit a 2x.
