looks like a solid built sheet. Using seat post and handlebar from  frame supplier? not a bad choice.
thanks for the fast response. Yes I would get the complete set from Spycle, I hope to have the least hassle.

I woukd strongly advice going wider tires. I'm on gravel since we rode 30c tires on it (yeah not kidding) and now with sp cycle I run 44c tufo thundero HD and damn those are fast. I can assure You that fat tire with low rolling resistance like tufo or conti terra speed would be faster and better then those 35/38c tires.

dit. GOOOOO TUBELESS! effetto maripossa caffelatex is my sealant of choice

Appreciate the feedback! I‘ll use the bike primarily for commute with 90% tarmac (not the best) and pavement and 10 percent gravel roads. On the weekends I want to be able to do light gravel. Would you still advise wider tires?

Yes. I do a lot of city riding on my gravel and short trainings around the city and they are mainly on hard surfaces. I got few KOMs on road with my setup. Minimum you should go is 40 really. But 45 is really killing it.
