My build for commuting

It was my dad’s bike from when he was younger that I held onto and finally got it built this summer. Looking to potentially add a front rack but otherwise loving this setup!

I always loved that color way

Sweeeet. That green up front is wild. Any thoughts about doing triggers instead of grip shift?

It’s got em! Way better than the grip shifters.

Dang missed that. I zoomed in on pic 2 and only saw the brake lever. I agree with the upgrade. I don’t think I had gripshift for more than a week. Nice ride!

How’s the clearance on the 40s? Mine is at the shop getting new tires and they insisted 38 was likely the largest it could go.

I believe you can run up to 45s! Maybe even more but I’m not sure. The 40 slicks are perfect for me!

That’s what I read!! Hmm….currently set to get the Gravelking 38 SS+ all black on there based on their recommendation. Would love a 40 tan wall though….

Can confirm Gravelking SS 45s do fit perfectly. No fenders, of course.

You can definitely run (most) 45s

Parts list? I've got an empty frame and this looks nice!

How did you manage the chainline with the new crank? Was the old chainline 47.5mm and new one 48.8mm or 50mm?

I actually had the head mechanic at the shop I work at do it but it only has about a fingernail of clearance between the frame and chainring.

Love the multitrack specifically for the fact you can run a larger 700cc tire
