Sorry if it's been mentioned before .. but what is it?

And are those Ashima rotors?

Thanks. It’s a monster gravel bike from Prova cycles. Rotors are SRAM XR centerlines

I have always wanted a Prova. Too bad abovecategory does not sell them as frames.

But can you share some details about the frame? Does Mark build with butted tubes, how short of a chainstay can he build with those 3D printed yolk, any idea on the frame weight?

Thanks! Enjoy the beautiful looking bike!

The bike has been a pure joy; Mark did a terrific job packaging all the details.

The bike was built with in house butted tubes, 3D printed chainstay yokes and dropouts. Bend seat tube and 43 stay length can accommodate 58mm rear tire. Bottom bracket is a t47 87 to fit a road qfactor cranks and regular 12x142TA rear hub spacing. I have 55mm RH Fleecer Ridge on it and it has plenty of clearance. OS tubing top tube, down tube, and chainstays and they seem to be even more OS than my IF TiFLW which is more OS than my Serotta Legend.

Don’t know what the frame weight is but the entire bike with pedals, cages, a dropper post, and a full saddle bag is just over 20lb on AC’s scale.

Those are 650b. Some Mavic wheels a local shop was unloading cheap. Seems nobody wants QR wheels anymore. I’ve been looking for a nicer set of 650b 100/135 QR disc wheels without much luck.

Bike is a blast to ride. No weight weenie but neither am I!

Very nice! There's an Eriksen out there that I do this with if I still owned it.
