In this video I’m walking you through my ideal custom-built gravel setup what I think may work for me as a non-competitive cyclist.
I did not ask for speed or light weight which opens a lot possibilities in terms of choosing the groupset and components that I want, so they will work efficiently, comfortably, and aesthetically more pleasing to my eyes.

Looks like a really fun bike! Thanks for all the extra info discussing the decisions to make this bike. Very informative!
Hi, I recently got a used Cherohala size M/L with the Enve fork. Does it really take up to a 45mm tire in the front / 40mm in the rear? The website says max 38mm.
bike looks great. was looking around for setups to do something similar.. heck same use case same rides/trails too apparently lol. curious how much you ended up spending on the whole thing?
Thats one pimped out touring bike lol. I just got my lynskey backroad and built it with mechanical everything including brakes. Reason being was i wanted massive gears for climbs so went with a shimano xt rear derailleur to fit a 11-46t cassette along with 46-30t grx upfront. Was thinking electronic but they haven't figured out issues like you ran into.
So far it shifts great and climbs walls lol
Is that a titanium stem? What brand?
Have you ever considered Pinion Gearboxes for issues relating to clearance on your derailer? It would cost you more, but since i see you are already going all out with titanium, maybe you might consider the extra cost for higher quality/ less maintenance with the pinion. very nice bike by the way, i am still planning on my dream setup.
Think these a better value than thomson bikes, that hooch looks nice, so does that hardtail mountain bike, see they can be ordered as a kit to save, someday i hope to afford one, a tita bike
Which saddle do you like better for which discipline?
Or do you like one saddle better than the other for both road and gravel?
Thanks!
Nice build.. as for the tires with the titanium frame set – do you keep the psi at the same level or vary it for the different terrains and how does the titanium ride feel is extra plush and compliant or stiff like a carbon road bike? Thx for sharing your build again beautiful bike should last a long time!
Hey man, subbed liked the build and jokes. Keen on asking some questions if possible. Want to build something similar in aus
Nice build! I have a question, I'm building a Lynskey GR300 with SRAM Force 1x but instead of XPLR derailleur/cassette I want to use 10-36 cassette and swap 46T or 38T chainrings depending on terrain. When you setup the app on your phone does it allow 38T front 10-36 rear?
I really enjoyed watching this video. Thanks!
Nice build!
I am just putting together a one by as well by Litespeed. Different frame though. Going with the flint. I will be using sram transmission drivetrain. Let's see how it goes. Enjoy your ride.
Don't you find that toe-overlap a problem on the rough stuff?
me personally feel 34 max is enough for graveling. bigger than that make me slow.
Nice ride, it's too bad they've not considered the option that people want to run the 2x. You'd have to gain some chain stay length, etc
The "meter" in power meter refers to a "device or instrument for measuring". The same appears in barometer, thermometer, altimeter, speedometer, etc… But perhaps I failed to detect sarcasm? That happens all the time
Looks like you have a toe overlap
Странная геометрия рамы.нижние перья рамы , зачем они их согнули,это сделало байк уродливым.велосипед выглядит тяжелым, геометрия устарелая.
Sweet bike. I’ve had my eye on an Atalaya Gravel for awhile now…
how do i paint a polished alloy bike frame to look TITANIUM COLOR? does anyone know which colors to mix pleaseeeeeeeeeee??? thanks in advance!
Thanks for making this. I built a Lynskey GR300 with Force AXS 1x using Force AXS RD modified with the Garbaruk cage and their 10-48 cassette. It works just fine. Since I want more gear range, I am going to try a 2x setup. The plan is to use a Force wide AXS FD, wide 43/30 2x crank set, and XPLR 10-44 cassete. We'll see if chain clears chain stay while in the 30t inner ring.
