The idea for this bike was to have something that would have a gravel grinder geometry and run a comfortable 35mm tire. To keep costs under control, we’re using a relatively inexpensive carbon fork with a 45mm rake. And, as we wanted the ride to be a bit more stable, the end design has a 62mm trail. In order to fit the rear brake caliper inside the rear triangle, the seat stays are bent which gives an interesting look. Check out the following pictures for a look at this build as it progresses…
