Tonight's bike at bedtime is a real steel steed from a bike industry professional... or a super professional? This one is worth a closer look to appreciate all the details 👀
Moving on to shifting, well, you might notice that Grant is a lover of single-speed bikes; so there are not too many numbers to mention, only that it is a 36/15 ratio. The carbon cranks are Sram Force and the chainring is a Wolftooth direct mount.Moving on to contact points, which are always a very personal part of someone's bike. The saddle is, with a wee special nubbin at the nose. That button features the same design as this bike's top cap which we will get to later...
The handlebars are very gravel-approved 48cm wide Salsa Cowchipper 2 bars with 24deg flare. They're wrapped in Redshift bar tape which, considering the width of the bars, is a clever choice as it comes in 315cm length.This bike would not be a very personal bike without some very personal, quirky touches. The top cap that we mentioned before, it's Bentley Component's 'Tallywhacker' Original brass top cap.
Perhaps the best way to distinguish a 'normal' bike from a pro bike is the fact that there are spares carried on it, and this All-City has them very neatly stashed on the seat tube. The Schwalbe Aerothan tube, tyre levers and pump are strapped on another Bentley Component accessory: the Mini Deck. This is designed to work with any kind of strap from Voile straps or Surly's Junk straps, or you could use it to adjust your bottle cage placement by 10 or 20mm.
That brings us to the end of this bike, which hopefully has proven to be a refreshing take on what makes a bike unique and cool, among all of the carbon weight-weenie carbon race machine builds that we see on a daily basis.... and don't forget to let us know what you think of this build!We’ve noticed you’re using an ad blocker.
