Some months ago, was very close to selling my OPEN U.P. because i had bought a Supersix evo Himod 2020. Pretty sure the supersix was the faster bike of the two, but the paint and proprietary stuff wasnt satisfying my need for tinkering and optimizing.
A friend suggested i could get more fun out of tuning the OPEN and i quite liked that idea.
Wanting the build to be reliable and reasonably priced is also a little important so i’ve taken that into consideration. Also the bike is more focused on having fun, rather than all-out speed. So no need for deep-section wheels, crazy aero bars and 25mm tires. Might buy a 60-70-80mm wheelset later, just for the fun of it.
Spec will be as follows:
frame/finish kit:
Open U.P. (2020, “new U.P., u-turn fork”) frameset size 54, Blue
Deda Superleggera 42cm bars (40 c-c) 185 gs
Tune Geiles Teil 4.0 120mm stem 126gs
Black Inc seatpost 27.2 (might get swapped for a lighter one) (160-something)
Tune Kom+vor saddle- re upholstered with geniune leather: 108gs
Tune Scraubwürger 30mm seatpost clamp : 8gs
SRAM Supercork tape
Tune bottle cage: very light
Garbaruk topcap which matches the frame color:4.9gs
Drivetrain:
SRAM Red Etap AXS 1x12spd
Cassette will be swapped to Force 10-36 because i need the range of the 10-36 and they dont make a “Red” 10-36)
Dub crankset with the new spiderless xplr chainring size 46t.
Shimano one sided SPD pedals (pd-600 something), fairly light
Wheels and tires:
Roval CLX 32 Rapide 2020
Panaracer gravelking Slick 32mm tubeless
Tires will be ran tubeless as i have good experiences with that. Stans tape, Zipp valves,
Red AXS 160 rotors
Aiming at 6,8 kgs
Heres some teaser pics but i will post more when the build is fully done. Anyone else on here who’s taken the same approach to a “riders” bike?
Cheers
