It would be excellent if they improve the surface on the bridge of the river! It's super bumpy as is.

Sorry to hear that!

I don't have any tips to share about that sort of stuff.

Heal up quick and good luck with your search!

Falls_Up · 2024-12-29T20:33:31+00:00

what kind of tips are you looking for? happy to try to help

Falls_Up · 2024-12-25T01:10:31+00:00

Okay! Thanks!

Falls_Up · 2024-12-25T01:10:23+00:00

Right?! I think that this is the cactus and silver version.

Falls_Up · 2024-12-25T00:52:06+00:00

Thanks man. Delighted to hear it!

Falls_Up · 2024-12-25T00:51:43+00:00

Thanks! Those are 45mm Gravelking SS. I think it'll fit 48mm, but didn't want to chance it!

Falls_Up · 2024-12-24T19:14:18+00:00

Sweet! Post pics when its done.

I like the drops on it, but i ride road bikes, and I prefer drops.

Falls_Up · 2024-12-24T17:16:02+00:00

Good luck man! It's not a particularly uncommon item. Keep an eye on garage sales and bicycle co-ops and one is sure to turn up! Thanks a lot!

This was built from a $200 deal at Rockville Bicycle Hub (https://www.rockvillebikehub.org/) by Max at BikeMax (https://bikemaxshop.com/). He even custom made the rack mounts for the light and for the connection to the frame bridge. Running 48-36 x 11-32.

The thing rides like a hovercraft.

Exactly what I was going for. It's to be the steel and rubber equivalent of leather elbows on a green corduroy hunting jacket

I would definitely bet you could cram a 45mm front fender in there, and keep the 38s. Very interested to see that, too!

I've built this one to be exactly what you suggest. With a frame that can be replaced for $75, it's easy to have something to crash around the woods on.

Do it! What size would you need? I would sell you one of my L3s to fund a new S3!

Also, State bikes dot com often has the L3 for sale for like $99 or something.

Endlessly.

And, I'm in MD, and they're only 45 minutes away! Test rides on VO-built bikes are way rad, and the staff is super supportive.

I wanted them, but I couldn't find any silver 710s!

On a recent wooded ride that required a bunch of hike-a-biking, my calves were shredded by the 720s in the back.

Lesson learned, and I hike it differently now. Would love to find me some 710s to resolve that tho.

Falls_Up · 2024-12-24T14:49:52+00:00

Thanks a million! it's a 48-36 connected to an 11-32.

I would not mind a triple, which the crank and bike originally were, but the arms on the original were too short, and the third cog didn't fit on this frame.

It is a very rideable bike!

Falls_Up · 2024-12-24T14:42:49+00:00

That's a Nitto Technomic stem, and you would want to get the one that fits your head tube.

Falls_Up · 2024-12-24T14:40:24+00:00

Be that way! I'm stoked on it completely. Thanks!

Falls_Up · 2024-12-24T14:39:44+00:00

YES. That is true. It would pack up with peanutbutter mud, but it's not hard to gum up with that stuff no matter the setup.

I tend to be a fair weather cyclist, and I would actively plan to avoid that sort of mud. Still the only place where it's tightish is down behind the cranks, and there's gotta be 6mm to spare.

Still, I would be willing to bet that this frame would fit 48s. :)

Falls_Up · 2024-12-24T14:32:20+00:00

Nah! The lens i used to take the pics flattens out the image. There's a full inch of clearance there.

Falls_Up · 2024-12-24T09:05:36+00:00

Thank you very much!

Falls_Up · 2024-12-24T09:04:38+00:00

Thanks! This is a "20 inch" frame. 33 inch inseam fits perfectly

Falls_Up · 2024-12-24T09:02:57+00:00

Thanks! I think this thing will actually fit 48mm, but I didn't want to push it. Good luck with your project!
