Re: Traditional cable routing options???? The BB386 version I think! as the advert had both pictures, was planning on using a token BB386 BB then do like you with the chainset but I went 40t front and 11-40t rear. I have some alex ra1.9 rims and will then panaracer or wtb 38s or 40s but think I need an extender for the rear mech.

Re: Where is everyone from? Cornwall in the United Kingdom. The bit right at the bottom on the left! full of history (inc Pirates!) lots of coastline and moors and mining trails(gravel) made by the old tin miners to haul coal one way and tin ore the other. Oh and surf capital of the world (OK the UK!) Kernow Bys Vyken (Cornwall for ever, it also has its own language !)

Chasing Wind GT20 Gravel Frame build [Build Finished] Hi Everybody,

Im going to document both my Chasing Wind GT20 Gravel Frame build and all the equipment I'm going to use on my first expedition ride. Im trying to do this on as small a budget as possible. I ordered the frame in January and it has just arrived today.

It's a 58CM in what they call brown green gloss

I also bought a 2nd hand XL racing frame off ebay in January for £350 ($417) it had a nearly new Shimano 105 hydraulic group set, which I will aim to modify and move to the new frame.

It was extremely well packed and took me around 10minutes to unwind all the foam!

Re: Chasing Wind GT20 Gravel Frame build [update1] Just sorted out a set of wheels to try a sizing fit to see if  I needed more spacers. Pleased with how it looks with the tan side wall tyres.

Re: Chasing Wind GT20 Gravel Frame build [update2] Small update. Had a logo designed and applied bike name and head tube logo (red river is a local river that was once used for mining Tin which is red) Modified the FSA gossamer to single ring. Poped on the GRX rear mech and stared the internal cable routing which was much easier than expected through the bike as it sees it has channels in the frame. Im sure the handlebars will be harder.

Now a quick question! Chainline? having the single ring attached to the double on the big ring side gives me 45mm calculations does this sound about right putting in on the inside would give me around 40mm? Help or suggestions?

Cheers

Re: Chasing Wind GT20 Gravel Frame build [Build Finished] Since the last update I started to have a panic about the fully integrated cabling on this frame and handlebars so I stopped the build and ordered the basic headset cap with the hole for the cables. These came this week so if I had any issues I could revert and not have to wait for parts etc.

While I was waiting I thought I would try the routing and this turned out much easier that I was expecting and before I knew it they were through the frame.

The parts tuned up this week so with a long weekend holiday I started the process of popping ends on hydralics and running the gear inner for the rear mech.

In the end I came i just of £1000 $1240 for the full build . I had fun building it and would definately do this again.
