Thanks to fellow PDX xbiker u/SweetReading8276 for hooking me up with this frame after he did a build with it. It's got the Klein style press fit BB, a 1 1/4 steerer and 31.2mm seat tube, so you have to be willing to work with those. The spindle was 129mm! I found a 125mm titanium spindle and made some chainring spacers to make a useable 50mm chain line. Nitto makes a 1 1/8 column quill stem adapter for 1 1/4 forks, and I shimed a 30.9 carbon seatpost. Wheels are Alex Adventurer 650b w/ tubeless GravelKing SK 47mm. Halo skewers and Peaty's Chris King valves. Thompson Elite stem, Nitto Losco bars, Origin 8 + Salsa cyclocross brakes, Cane Creek SCX 5 cantilevers, Surly hanger, Nitto M18 rack + Wald 137 basket, Dura-Ace 10sp shifter + DA 7900 derailleur(short cage w/hanger extension), Microshift Sword Black square taper cranks w/wolf tooth 38t, Deore 10sp cassette, Corki titanium spindle pedals, Ergon Allroad saddle, Oury grips and Almsthre frame bag.

Awesomeeeeeee!
This is fucking insane and I couldn’t be happier with what ya did to the thing. Strong work 💪
Cool blue accents! Only one warning, the bolts holding the front rack. I assume all those anodized bolts are either aluminium or titanium. For those load bearing applications, you want nothing but steel bolts. Aluminium bolts will eventually fail, and that is a dangerous place for them to fail…
Am I seeing four brake leavers? 🤓
