The Brief;
A gravel training bike to tear up rail trails, fire roads and maybe a cheeky weekend bike packing adventure.
The Build;
Max already has a road racing bike and a hardtail 29er mountain bike but found he needed something in the middle to tackle the rail trails and fire rounds surrounding his property. Mainly used for cross training this bike is going to be a workhorse with a solid build around the 650b wheels and the Sram Rival 1x groupset. We added a little bit of bling and practicality with the White Industries G30 cranks giving Max more heel clearance to the frame which has been an issue on previous bikes.
