I just bought a new frameset for my gravel bike...does that count?
Actually, it’s going to be a whole new gravel rig, this ‘19 T-Lab X3. Made in Montreal, it’s got some pretty radical and unique tube shaping for titanium, and taken together with some other cool touches like the bolt-in drop outs and 3-piece headtube, make it the most sophisticated Ti bike out there (insofar as I am aware). This size Large frame, fork and headset together all weigh in at 2119g— a bit under 5lbs— so I should be able to build this up (undecided, but probably with SRAM Force 22) into a ~18.5lbs ride without any real weight weenie-ism.
I’m still collecting up the bits, but hope to have it ready to ride within a month...just in time for the dead of winter!
