Always glad to see I'm not the only one still riding 2x and rim brakes. Nice ride.

My custom gravel bike coming next summer will have Force 22 and Paul MiniMotos.

Nice bike.
If my Quiring (road) cleared 40s I don't think I'd ever ride anything else.

Nice! Is that a 3t luteus II fork I see up front?

I'm really liking your build!
It's refreshing to see small(er) tires, as opposed to the 43-47c of this era.
This makes me feel better about having a bike that makes out around 35

Nice bike!

Thanks for the positive feedback on the Spectrum. It really is a joy to ride.
Good spot, it has a 3T Luteus II fork.

Ha ha, thanks, maybe it's the pictures...the tires are Schwalbe G-ones, which on the i21 KOMs measure out at a true 40mm wide. 42s will fit just fine, potentially even 48s. But yeah, these G-ones feel pretty large to me!

Yes. I can't put my finger on it, but this looks so good. So much fun.
