CX bike built going to Portland, Or.
One of the rare full builds I have done this year. The bike is set up with Shimano GRX 820 mechanical with 880 wheels. The bars are the new Shimano 'Discovery' gravel bend and should provide some long ride comfort. The tires are Gravel King 700x30 as this bike will be primarily used on the road in the near term. The fork is an Enve G-series painted to match and the stem and post will be Easton EA-70. The saddle and post on the bike are not part of the build and just there for the photo. I rode the bike and everything is working properly but I had a heck of a time with the front brake bleed. It seems fine now but it was a lot of work getting it there. I'll have to look at a few more videos to see some shotrtcuts to getting the job done in a more timely fashion - hard for an old guy to learn new tricks.
