And ofc you had to turn it into a counterfeit by putting a logo where it doesn't belong. On an airwolf frame, the irony is exquisite.

Practice run for applying and the decal vendor I chose. I'll be repainting my girlfriends authentic Grevil and need to reapply logos. i know some of you hate it but I like the colors. There is no clear over them so they are meant to come off.

How's the shifting with the 2x 48-34t + 10-44t? Seems like some pretty crazy gearing, but I'm curious on it's performance!
It shifts great. It doesnt behave like a 1X RD trying to shift 2X.

I did this based on seeing it a few places elsewhere but most people are using the smaller chainrings.

Bars that came with my Dogma F clone from Velobuild. They are Pinarello style

Someone reached out asking about this frame recently so update time I guess. This frame has earned its keep in my ever-growing fleet of bikes. So much so that I decided to paint it a GMC color called Downpour Metallic. I also swapped out the drivetrain for a mix of SRAM Force D2 & E1. Now running 12sp XPLR in 2X with a Force WIDE FD with 48/34 cranks from Alugear. 10-44T cassette incoming.

I'd like to see a handlebar that matches the aesthetics of the frame.

I know these say MTB but 11 speed GRX could run same sized cassettes. Unsure on the 12 speed stuff though.

These are relatively new from what I can see. I ordered the 11-39 (specifically for road HG) for my EDS TX setup on my gravel bike since I'm having issues with the 13 speed 9-42 EKAR cassette currently on there.

Gravel frames are (except for a few rare exceptions) designed around road cranks.

If going 1X you can run SRAM DUB MTB cranks with a 6mm chainring. Just have to setup the BB with spacers for a 142 frame and youre good to go. I ran this on my old gravel bike.

The senicx cranks I used were also mtb cranks 😂

Do you have a link to the ones you're using?

Sure, https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807449404800.html

Those are MTB cranks which explains your poor chainline. Any senicx road will do. Are you sure the crank was creaky and not the bottom bracket? I have a few hundred miles on mine and not a sound.

How is the  crosswind with those. I notice it with my 60mm rims.

They've been great so far. A little more push than my 65mm rims. I plan on swapping tires to Continental Aero 111 as they review to be much more linear in regard to wind.

Did you just tell them you wanted "Digital Violet from Aston Martin"?  ....I would steal this color for my purple and white fade paint job I'm hoping to do.

Also, I may have missed it but are those genuine Princeton wheels?

Lmao no they are not. Weight is within 50g of an authentic pair. For the paint, I did it myself. You can see progress pics in this thread if you look back some pages.

OMG What a freaking weapon! That looks ridiculously cool. Purple is my favorite color too. Did you find the purple on Pantone or was this their purple option?

Thanks! I love how it came out. I painted the frame in Digital Violet from Aston Martin.

I have a problem with wavy wheels. This is peak aesthetic for this bike and likely how I'll leave it except for some stem adjustments later on.

We all need to post location. USA prices and availability have changed dramatically. Likely not elsewhere. But comments about prices without location are sort of meaningless at the moment.

I'm in USA dog. Prices are within a few dollars of what they were a year ago for the Stone chainrings I have on two bikes.
