Ha, if you saw my terrible original MS Paint drawing you would realise my design skills are severely lacking! Luckily the painter is a wizard.

Fantastic choice of components and fantastic painting scheme for this build!
Perfection, I absolutely love it! Bravo!

What size tires can that frame accomodate?? What kind of riding do you intend to use it for?
These components are one for one exactly what I had in mind for a possible Festka One Gravel build, so with wider tires than this. Might have to keep this painting scheme in mind to make for an absolutely perfect gravel bike :lol: (I'd use different colors though, I'm a fan of dark with one flashy color accent and matching flashy bar tape.)

I'm running 25s, could probably get 30s in the frame, plenty of clearance, not sure about the fork though. 28 would probably be fine fork-wise but 30 would push it.

Riding wise it'll primarily be a 'cafe racer' I guess. Lots of long rides but sticking to the roads.

Just got the winter bike sorted, waiting on some PDW guards and it'll be good to go.

Ha, yeah it's ass backwards but the winter build was a spare frame from the builder so I couldn't be too picky.

I've seen the first one in the flesh. Bike of the year for me that. Winter bike is also a treat.

Currently looking into a disc road/wider tire'd bike myself and was curious why you chose QR over TA? Gorgeous bike.
