Swapped in 650x47 (added 11-40 cassette after this ride which works fine with GRX 815 2x)

Andy, that's a great looking bike there. You've GOT to do something to tidy up that frame pump tho, it's killing the lines of the bike!

See Gothy's bike above for proper TT/FP spacing.

idk think framepumps on nontraditional shaped frames look kind of cool. like a mix of old and new. doesnt inspire any confidence you wont lose it on some bumpy descent without the extra insurance of a strap across the tt, but its also not my problem.

Agree that pump level with top tube looks much better but tube shapes allow the pump to fit very well despite weird angle (the silca rubber bung is pushed all the way up and stops any movement) - next time I’ll remove pump for photos!

Don't you dare. The pump askew makes a statement. I dig it.

Also, awesome bike.

Well, “inspire” is a nebulous word. Inspires nausea, maybe. That is truly an ugly bike.

Sometimes it’s a gravel bike. Sometimes it’s a road bike.
