interesting, nice bike...
but not for me... (not that that matters...)
the droopy chainstay thingie does bug me though... I'm not a fan of possible 'affectation' ?
less chainslap to the arm closer to the BB, especially with the tiny cogs ??? maybe ?
then maybe do it to both arms... ?
I seem to remember seeing some frames from days gone by (rd and mtb) which had this style of 'droopy' chainstay, both sides symetrically - name buried under all the other crap info in my coconut... LOL!
Plenty of places to mount soft reindeer antlers or LV Raiders flags, though... LOL! maybe even a deer whistle or 2...
seriously though. Iff'n you're gonna target this to real gravelly/quasi-offroad with the 1x CR, then you should also use the open bar space for a Dropper Seatpost remote. To really use this bike, a dropper post would be an instant add-on and a detail more important than a droopy chainstay.
I guess astronomers are correct - the universe is expanding !!!
Ride On (whatever you've done gotz...)
