I agree, spectacular build, beautifully done.

Which Waterford frame is that, what fork, and what's the tire clearance?

Very few bikes cause me to feel envy. This one certainly does.

Not a straight up 'gravel bike', but very capable nonetheless (as the Compass tires can attest).

How are the Campy levers working with the brakes?
How much does it weight (we had a whole discussion here about getting a gravel machine around 18lbs...

The Campy levers work well with the Yokozunas. Good feel at the levers and a good range of adjustability at the calipers. Easy set up like the TRP Spyres but the levers do not bottom out on the bars like with the Spyres. I am happy with them.

Weight is surprisingly ~20.5 lbs as is... heavy C17 Cambium, heavy ATAC pedals, heavy-ish Clement MSOs, Mandible cages, Moots stem/post, Fizik alloy bars, Chorus parts with CX11 carbon crankset. Frame is a 58.5cm. Not sure how I'd get it to less than 18 lbs without a lot more expense, carbon bits and smaller tires. Maybe my REI digital luggage scale is off. As built now, it rides great so I'm not too worried about the weight.

Don't MAKE me hafta buy two bikes from you!

That thing's gorgeous. I just hope I notice if you list it again. 35s the biggest tires it'll fit? (Lovin' the Hampsten, by the way.)

In the meantime, my Kish is in for a powdercoat. Metal-flake root beer. Pics when I get it back!

Thanks!

This is a Waterford ST-22 that I bought here from Campy Man a few weeks ago, built up with what was on my Hakkalugi (for sale soon).

It's pretty, but it won't be a garage queen, that's for sure. First ride on it was in the rain.

It is spec'd to take 38's, but my Bon Jon Pass 35's (caliper says the are just over 35 on Hed Belgiums) are all that will fit in the rear. There's plenty of room for more rubber up front, though.

It is a Waterford Fork...not 100% sure which one from their website...

Thanks for the response @bismo37 That's roughly my Seven weight and a similar setup. If you ever decide to get rid of that frame, please drop me a note The only time i worry about weight is when climbing - something that does not happen too often here in Berlin!
Nice build a great looking bike.
