Thanks, I bought the frame and fork from another bikeforums member. Nothing original really, just built it up with stuff from all over.
Bought the cheap Sensah groupset to try. If I keep it long term I might upgrade that eventually.
Went with mech disk brakes Spyre SLC, as I really don't like hydraulics.
I bought it because I liked the steel and the color.
