I am still waiting on some parts, but this seems like a good place to put it for now.

Standard setup will be Eurus wheels, 30-32mm slicks, and a 11-29. Secondary setup will be fulcrum wheels, 35-38mm cross tires, and a 11-34.

Now that is SWEET! The "official" Yeti turquoise color code changed through the years, but what color code did you get your fork painted (RAL or Pantone)?

Here's mine with RAL 5018 ("older" Yeti turq). The shade is light depedent.

I honestly don’t remember. I had it done maybe 4 years ago. I originally built it up 1x10 with parts from my parts bin. The plan was to have it for casual rides and mixed surfaces. It eventually took over as my main ride but the gearing was quite limited. I decided I just as well part out what was supposed to be the daily bike and use the funds to turn this one into more of a general purpose road bike with a bit of mtb flare. Chorus 12 fit the theme nicely, both in spec and in appearance.

It’s a quality bar, but I am tempted to swap to a Ritchey neoclassic for the flat drops. Still undecided.

I really like an “Italian drop” on a road bike but these do have nice control from the drops. I think they play nicer with the 12 speed levers than my prior 10 speed.

What’s the difference between gravel and CX?

In any case here’s my vintage-y steel contribution:

**** yes

My CX bike became a gravel bike...when I stopped racing. I flipped the stem and jam in the largest tires that will fit.

This is awesome. Are those 29 or 27.5 Thunder Burts? The tall-person bike is throwing off my normal calibration.

Just got this put together today. No good action pics yet, but it felt pretty good just going around the block.
