Re: Velobuild VB-R-177 Slowly getting there, what do you guys think? Should be enough clearance right? Also i ordered the wrong casette because turns out I have a shortcage derailleur that goes for a 10-33, luckily for me I ordered a 10-34 casette so thats getting replaced.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-177 So here it is people.. SRAM Force / Rival mix, weighing in as seen here at 8.2kg... without pedals and garmin accessories its around 7.9 which is still 1kg lighter than my older specialized allez disc from 2020. Might be able to shave off another 100-200g if I hadnt overdone it with the sealant and gotten lighter tires. Possibly could lose some weight by cutting the seat tube to length as well and maybe even cutting the fork a bit more, but so far very happy with it. SRAM is definitely a different experience to my 105, not sure which i like more honestly.

XC Marathon Fully with... Drops? Advice? Hi everyone, I'm looking to build a gravel bike that might be on the verge of over biking.

I saw XC FS frames used at races like Leadville and was wondering how dumb would it be for a roadie like me to build up the same kinda bike with a drop bar? I.e Dylan Johnson style with FS (He used a hardtail xc).

I'm assuming reach issues with a 30-40mm stem could be solved to get a similar geo to most gravel bikes, so far I've been looking at the Light Carbon 918?

Considering there isn't too much information and I've been a roadie for the past 3 years, is this a really really dumb idea?
Am I missing something completely? Any advice is appreciate thank you I love you all mwah mwah

dengue makes a full suspension gravel frame.  built around a 100/100mm travel.  http://m.dengfubikes.com/index.php?s=/229.html

Ive been trying to get in touch with dengfu and still waiting for them to get back to me but it doesnt seem like anyone on here has built up one of these? Another thing i sorta dont like is the max tire clearance, i was hoping to fir proper mtb 2.2 inch tires
