Hello!
This is my custom steel bike. Built by local framebuilder, and geometry decisions were mainly made by me.
TL;DR: Custom steel drop bar bike with a MTB inspired geometry, with very strange selections of components.
Main idea was, Salsa fargo with more modern trends (longer and slacker),
or Evil Chamois hagar with more MTB-like components (Boost spacing, long ATC fork, bit more tire clearance)
It has roughly 67 deg HTA with a 68cm Front center. 440mm Seat tube length, with a 125mm dropper fits fine for me. (Im short btw)
Long ATC(485mm) forks are selected, because at future I might swap the forks- either with 100mm Suspension, MTB 'rigid carbon' forks, or even a bit shorter fork with 32inch front wheels.
It clears 29×2.2 rear, Also with a 145mm Q factor Sram 'road' cranks (not road wide), thanks to 3d printed Chainstay yoke. Front clearance is more than 3 inch I guess.
Components…
Drivetrain is shimano 10-51 12 speed. Levers are 3d printed Ti blade for tektro RL340, to use it with Gevenalle shift levers.
Brakes are Paul Klampers. At least it works more than okay, and adjusting is easy & reliable.
Frame bags are custom made by local bag maker.
Wheels are built by me. I wanted to try to build wheels by myself, and also Silver spoke complete wheels are rare. Not very good one tho, gonna build a new wheel with carbon rims some day.

Yes.
I would call it drop bar MTB or monster cross. But the lines between the different categories are blurry. It’s a cool bike for sure!
