That's good to know about the paint job. I was originally thinking of a fade from red to white, but i've reconsidered that. I think solid Red with white stripes is a better way to go.

You can just tell them what color you want, or sketch out your design if you want multiple colors, or decals. You can use RAL Classic colors.

As the title says -- I'm looking to build a gravel frame this winter/spring. I've been eyeing those two frames, based on some of the content I have read in this forum (as well as a few other spots).

It's been about 15+ years since I last built up a bike. So I'm not new to this, but I am coming at it like I am new. For all intents and purposes, I should as, things were a little more standardized back then (especially in bottom brackets!)

As a Canadian, I'm wondering what sort of lead time I'd be looking at, the typical import and duties, and other bits of information like that. This forum has a lot of great info, but those factors are a bit of a needle in an overwhelmingly large haystack.

Paint job - This is also another area that I'm not fully understanding -- If I buy from Carbonda, do i just tell them i what color(s) i want? If i go with SPcycle, I'll likely go with an off-the-shelf colour, as I like the metallic red they offer.

Hi. Just joined last night (Fri 13th) and I'm looking to build a gravel frame over the next few months.

I've been looking at the options, but i think I need some guidance in regards to how all of this works in terms of importing to canada and what not.

Built a Trials bike 15 years ago and want to build up a bike again.
