More of a gravel bike in theory, Central Ohio is pretty well paved over:

That's cool, want

Thought I had contributed to this thread already...just looked through all 22 pages while waiting for LBL to wind up...having a bike porn and racing kinda morning.

Here's my Co-Motion Nor'Wester.




I normally run 28 Ultremos, but shown with 32 Ritcheys here.

That my man is SICK...and exactly the type of ride I'd like to have!

Budget gravel grinder v.1.0



Started out life as a 91 Schwinn Crosscut, after powder coat and classic style decals were done, I had the bright idea to try to put drop bars on it. Might have worked better if I was less leg and more torso, but didn't like how flexy the quill adapter was at the height needed for my fit. So I went back to the original flat bar seen here in the pre-powder coat days:



UPS is bringing me a new frame today for a new build, for a semi-budget gravel grinder, pictures to be posted as that progresses.

Love the frame and fork and overall look. I am a bit challenged with the red seatpost/stem/tape -- clashes with the orange to my eye. But if you love it that's what counts. And I bet it rides awesomely!

Yeah...I get that reaction sometime. It was done to represent a sponsor of the ride I direct, the Oregon Coast Visitors Association. Here's the jacket I designed to match.

Love the graphics on the jacket, and I can see the red tie-in now. Love Belgian blue, and the orange with it is primo.

I just ground up some gravel on this today. Some Dirt too

I posted pictures elsewhere, but thought I should update this thread with the completed bike since it's back on the front page.

Here's my Anvil CX built with Centaur Century drivetrain except for CK hubs with 8 speed ShimaNO cassette, Salsa Delgado rims. Mini-Vs for stopping.
Look closely at the rear triangle:Look like a Speedvagen? Story is that Don Ferris designed/built these rear triangles and sold some to Sasha White. You can then connect the dots...
