I’ve been dreaming about this tracklo build for months and I’ve finally taken it on the inaugural gravel ride, and holy shit was it fun. Maybe the most extreme example of underbiking I could do, and I’m living for it.
I’ve still got a few things I wanna change about it (new saddle, lower gear ratio eventually, new chainring somewhere down the line) but I LOVE this thing.

Looking good! What tires?

Same here! I’ve only had mine built for a year but always loved fixed gear riding and then building it to ride gravel and trails made me love it even more! Have fun! Also love your build.
What gear ratio are you running? I was at 48×17 for all purpose which was great for roads but had trouble going up some off-road hills. I’m trying 48×19 and wouldn’t want to go any lower. However I’m in Michigan, our mountain biking trails are nothing compared to what’s in the western side of the USA. I say I mostly ride roads and trails with a little dirt on the side, lol.
