Tony’s gravel bike

Tony was looking for a gravel bike for bikepacking, with flexible luggage options. The curved toptube opens up the main triangle to allow for a bigger framebag, and there are internally brazed bosses for cleanly mounting one. A custom stainless steel front rack supports the handlebar bag and includes a mount for the Exposure light. Then there are triple bosses on the fork and rack mounts out back.

Silver components were used where possible – polished rims and hubs/headset from Astral and White Industries respectively, a crankset from Rene Herse, titanium seatpost from Bingham, and the SRAM XX AXS derailleur that has a silver cage.

The bike has 45mm Schwalbe tires, with room for 50s. Beautiful green paint with ghosted logos by Colorworks, and the bike weighs in at 21.8lbs with the rack.
