This is before washing or even wiping the dust off. Best colorway preservation I've ever owned. Wondering how to build to emphasize the color and not detract/depreciate it.
I have Moloko bars and 40 mm Flintridge Pro tires I'll probably put on first just because I have them. Short, low stem. Picturing a monstercross type build.
Also considering transferring the majority of my Peugeot gravel build to this, since that one maxes out at just 38 mm tires.
But by all means go nuts and throw your dreams at me

Go crazy with it. IMO tanwalls are a must with the purple.

Gotta brag abt the good deal 😎
Clean, polish, and wax the frame. Add silver seatpost, stem, bars, and fenders from Velo Orange. Install Panaracer GravelKing Slick 700×38 from [Lemond Sale $25](https://lemond.com/collections/specials/products/panaracer-gravelking-slick-plus-tire). I’d top off with a black saddle of choice, grey or black ErgonGP1 grips, and Shimano PD-EF202 flats in silver or black.
I’d also swap in STX rear derailleur while I’m doing the work.
Navy blue cable housing up front, purple in the back
I fit 47mm tires in mine and you should too.
So that’s one of the newly created industry dubbed “hybrids” that was the original gravel bike designed to get middle aged housewives into the cycling market.
