Well, everything is ordered, now just need patience for everything to show up! Thanks guys for your help.
I will put together the build sheet either in top of that thread if I can retitle it or in a build thread, definitely not the budget build it was supposed to be...

Is the G058 frame very similar to the CWinds G30 frame? I’m in the process of ordering a frame and building a gravel bike as well. I’m new to all this, will be my first gravel bike.

I just finished the cervelo clone build and I think it would make a great hybrid. It has a an aggressive aero position perfect for the road.

What frame is that? It’s a clone of the Cervélo?

More parts, evosid crankset with 46T chainring, might be a bit too much for my wimpy legs, we’ll see

Make sure you fucking *torque* this thing. It's gonna feel like you're over-torqueing, it calls for like 54nm, which most garage mechanics can't accurately measure.

I've installed 2 of these and both required me to go further than I have on other cranksets to remove any lateral creaking on load.

Thanks for the tip! I usually works on cars so I have the proper torq wrench for this but it did surprise me, might be interesting to find the way to hold the bike to torq this puppy!

 Naw, with that 50t cassette you have better than 1:1 so climbing is gonna be great and you will still get good speed on pavement.

That's rad - would actually love to hear back about how close to the recommended torque you get! I've put some muscle into it to get it to fit in, but not sure what I'm actually torqued at.

Can you have a look at the hub and see if it's same as Goldix 240SL? Am looking to buy same CSC hub but wanna make sure spare parts are available...

I asked CSC for info on spare parts

I dont think it's same as Goldix, the machining for the disc mating surfaces are very different

Frame just arrived, paint job looks really good, only some extra build up on brake mounts face that needs to be cleaned up.
T47 thread look really clean too.
