This Gravel bike conversion was a project I’d been thinking about for a while and having eventually found the perfect bike, I started it late last year.
Life largely got in the way of the build but I finally got it finished last week and I couldn’t be happier with the result!
Stay tuned for my first ride video around the trails of Thetford Forest, coming soon.
Although I love getting my hands dirty with bike maintenance myself, I’m also a huge advocate for supporting your local bike shop, so go and check out Newdales website, as they helped me hugely TWICE while completing this build: https://www.newdales.co.uk
