This one is for my wife- she has not asked for a bike in many years but here is my version of what she wanted : A flat bar bike that can do mixed terrain to replace her 1998 CX bike. Now she will have disc brakes, 1X gearing and probably a much lighter bike all around. This one will be set up with Shimano XT mechanical shifting and some Shimano carbon GRX wheels. The frame weighs 3 lb. 6 oz. and I'm hoping to try to set it up with light stuff to make it easier to hang up in the garage. Unlike her older bike, this one won't have a rear rack but it will have the same fit and flat pedals. Another aspect is that this frame can take up to 700x50 tires. I'm not sure if she will ever use tires that big but at least she has the option.
