For sale is my gravel bike that I never thought I'd sell, so here goes nothing. Read the entire description as this bike has seen modifications.

Frameset is a 2018 Workswell WCB-R-146 aka "our version of a 3T Exploro". The frame has been modified by my trusted local bike shop to work with the crankset; some paint had to be removed around the bottom bracket. I also had them modify the frame at the seat post clamp to prevent cracking. These modifications are not standard but it has been four years since and the bike has been flawless. I never planned on selling it hence my lack of hesitation having someone physically modify the frame.

Some chain slap paint chips but nothing to worry about with structural integrity.

Since I installed a chain drop-stop device after the first six months of ownership the shifting has been absolutely flawless and no chain drops or chain suck incidents since.

Shifters/Derailleurs/Brakes are Campagnolo Super Record EPS 11s. Brake rotors are 160 mm Shimano Ice-Tech front and rear for better heat management. EPS battery charger is included with the bike. Rear derailleur has been modified to accommodate the wide gear range.

Handlebars are Specialized Aerofly 42 cm; stem is 110 mm 6 deg rise.

Cassette and chain are Shimano XTR; cassette is 11-40. Chain is brand new.

Crankset is an FSA carbon 172.5 mm 110 BCD with a 52-36 PowerTap C-1 power meter chainring. It has been flawless!

Wheels are a light and completely bomb-proof set of Light Bicycle AR46 disc rims handbuilt on Mercury Wheels hubs with DT Swiss Competition spokes. They are set up tubeless with Bontrager GR2 Team Issue 40 mm gravel tires.

Bike comes with Arundel carbon bottle cages that grip like hell and Garmin computer mount but NOT the pedals.

This bike has never been crashed and is in excellent shape (except for the fact that the frame is not-as-received, once again, to be sure I'm making it clear). It has just been completely cleaned and serviced with a new chain installed. It has performed flawlessly over the past four years and I'm bummed to see it go!

Asking USD $2000, shipping at buyer’s expense to US and Canada via Bike Flights. I am open to shipping worldwide but you may not like the shipping fees UPS is charging us civilians these days. Open to offers, I can even deliver if you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Hi all, I'm new as a user but have been reading for a long time. I spent 13-odd years working for a Trek/SBI/Cdale dealer and dove into the china frame journey with both eyes open and a Dremel at the ready.

My first bike was a Workswell R-146 gravel bike (Open UP ish). I love it. I have ridden the crap out of it. I had to dremel in a fresh rear hose entry port as the Open UP style head tube entry ports would pinch the hose with a low stem (used a 2007 Madone brake housing entry port, even tapped the tiny screw in the frame). Also, had to dremel around the bb shell to get a power meter to fit. After sanding out and hammering in my lower headset bearing, it was ready to go with a Campy EPS drivetrain running a 52x36 and an 11-40 cassette. Can get up anything!

I'm now wanting to dabble in disc brake road bikes and found the Workswell WCB-R-306 Disc Brake. I am hunting for something tarmac/emonda/supersix-ish: light, FSA ACR compatible internal routing, and some aero.

My question is: does anyone know who is the retail seller of the 306 frame is? Workswell can't sell it in the USA due to exclusivity clause... I've seen some impressive framespotting here and was wondering if anyone could help me out... or! offer some good alternatives!

Thanks for reading this far; I'll gladly shut up now.
