This is not the first bike I have built for this customer but it is the first in quite awhile. He had a CX bike from the 1995 batch that he rode the heck out of for many years but it got stolen. This is quite different than his previous bike as it has S&S couplers and is not a bike to compete on.
The parts are Shimano GRX 12 speed with mechanical shifting- perhaps my favorite parts group of the last 15 years. He had me build some wheels with DT-350 hubs and DT 481-R rims as he was not planning on using really big tires, although the bike will take them. He opted for a double chainring as he will be doing a lot of road riding on this one. I hope that he likes the Thomson bars that compliment the Thomson stem that he provided, along with the saddle and King bottle cages. The bike weighs 22 lb. 11 oz.
