Tim’s gravel bike

Tim is a fellow Oregonian, so was able to come to visit to plan his build. We took the opportunity to review his fit and go for a ride. Always nice when I get to meet clients in person!

For the build, Tim asked me to design a gravel bike that would double as a fender bike for the winter. He opted for an integrated seatmast with external cap, and a custom stem to match. The frame has a UDH dropout for future derailleur options, with flat mount bosses for directly mounting the caliper for a 160mm rotor.

SRAM’s cassette and chain in their bronze finish are fitted – Colorworks matched this for the logos and accents of the paint, which mimics the colorway of Tim’s Toyota truck. Velo Orange fenders and the Silca framepump were painted to match too.

The final weight is 22lbs complete with pedals, pump and fenders.
