How’s the HG coming along? Thinking I need to upsize to an XL.
who did I say I would paint their frame? I can’t find that referenced anywhere.
I suggested you could paint my NM when that happens but you may have been thinking of something else
Very close to taking orders. We basically have all the materials on hand or inbound for a big production run of HG and NM frames. Just a few last little bits we want to have physically on hand at the builders before we open orders.
@Andpoint_Endy can probably give a slightly more accurate estimate.

Well, now that I’m definitely doing the CG thing, I guess there will be some modern DQs. Kind of thinking I should branch out to the unfamiliar here, with fat 650b tubeless, genuine hydro brakes, even a modern transmission??
Stepping away from the CX bikes I already enjoy for gravel, I thought this build should go for nimble rides on road but favor gravel and trails–to the point of underbiking.
Tell me if I should put this in the DQ thread, but first up would be crankset. I have a good compact double that I would think of pushing to the smaller end of the stable, but I’ve never ridden a nerd crank and this might be the time. A subcompact might be too unambitious for a GG though, especially with the smaller wheels. GRX might be the right compromise. As if I could find anything new. Thoughts?

If double get a 46/30 or 48/31. There are zillions of 1x out there. I prefer alloy cranks but I think I broke some da9000s so what do I know.
Chainring standards are a fuck so good luck
Don’t get a 5 spline spider because it’s a shitshow trying to find 11sp rings for good/cheap

46/30 and 48/32 are both great and play well with derailleur placement on our frames.
The Praxis 48/32 is very decent and works really well well with Sram 2x11 and Shimano R7000/R8000.
RX800 48/31 is the way to go if you’re doing Shimano.
I’m running 46/30 on my underbiking gravel bike with 11-34 in the back. Gives me all of it. 30/34 is real nice for getting up “techy” dirt bike trails and powerline cuts.
CG is 50/34 with 11-36. Also really good. I’ve been using oval inner rings for a while on this bike. Maybe it helps?

I’ve run my Coffee Grinder in 650beef48 and 700c 32/35/36 - gearing 42x11-46 // 46x11-42 // 46/30 11-34 // 50/34 11-34… The current 46/30 is great and has tons of range. It needs to just be pretty dialed in from an adjustment standpoint or I have to baby it to not drop shifts. Otherwise it’s awesome and I like the increments I got back going from my 1x on much longer rides. The 1x stays on my Hunter Gatherer.
I think riding with 700x32 tubeless slicks on singletrack is about as fun and stupid as you can get while riding 2 hours of road around that nonsense. The 650s are long days slugging out mixed bag terrain and the tire pressure and lower ride just make the bike more comfortable and better handling on fun stuff. Recently I got some 700x36 gravel grinder tires and they fit in a sort of nice in between place but for some reason I don’t love them as much as either extremity.

And as far as Hunter Gatherer and Night Moves go, we have tubes coming for both, and a some other small parts that are in and out of stock. But most of the main stuff is secured. A few more weeks hopefully and we will feel confident taking money for things that aren’t real.

@Andpoint_Endy do you already have a final geo chart for the night moves you can share?
Pete Olivetti is working with us on these frames and we’re extremely excited about it.
