Wanted a faster gravel bike than my almost 15kg Trek and built this up.
Tech Alu frame with a steel fork from another bike, Mavic rims with XT hubs, LX derailleurs, Sora shifters. Conti Raceking in 2.0 – and I gotta say, they really are fast and comfortable on any gravel I've ridden so far.
First time using Travel Agents (or AliExpress fakes anyway), seem to work well so far.
Also dies time doing a bit of color matching. Was really excited to find these cure pedals for just 10€. While build was maybe 200€, but a lot of this bike came from the parts bin.

sweet ride! Any reason you didn’t go all the way to 26×2.2?
And you went with the best wide tires, race kings are amazing. Have them on two bikes and they’re both fast and so comfortable.
