I'll look up some links later. Most you'll see are customs, Salsa Cuttthroats or Fargos. The Salsa Fargo is probably the most revolutionary bicycle frame of the last decade.

What is your frame? What's the geometry? It probably has a high stack, which is good for gravel type riding generally speaking. Dougefresh is right that you'll likely want a super short stem and a probably short reach bars. I'd look to the flared offerings from, again, Salsa. They've done a lot to advance this genre. I would keep an eye out for a decent rigid carbon fork for sure.

And SRAM pioneered modern 1X. It's good stuff and a good bet. But, Shimano or a hodgepodge can work great too. Should be fun, man!
