G’day from Australia. Here are a few photos of my custom titanium pinion 29er gravel bike, built by Auren in Melbourne.
I spent YEARS building a list in my head of what I thought would be a reasonable gravel bike that would be lots of fun and could also moonlight as a long distance trekking bike and an occasional commuter. I was going to buy an off-the-shelf bike but then I thought ‘fuck it’ and did my own thing. I began researching and collecting parts while chatting with Will from Auren about the overall build. Pinion with Shimano GRX shifters married to a Hilite bikes Hibox – the same principle as the Gebla Rohbox; it uses the same shims too. Hope RX4 brakes, carbon wheels and White Ind hubs. First shakedown ride will be the Tassie Trail in a couple of months.
