Last week i changed the setup a bit by putting a drop bar instead of the flatone to use it like a monstercross-gravelish bike.
Changed the stem into a shorter one to get a comfy and good reach at the shifters/brakelevers.
The shifters/levers have longe cable pull ratio and in combination with...
Hi , great looking bike mate and love the dropbar setup on this one. I think it's a good match for a gravelbike.
I still have mine hanging here on the wall waiting to get build up , when i see yours it also give me the motivation to build it up as a gravelbike.
I didn't had issues with a stuck...
Sorry i couldn't react any sooner to this, but just after the bike was finisched my wife had some serious health issues , so i din't had the time or motivation any more to visit here.

Bike is builded up and took it out for a ride today. Took some time to stop at some places to take some pics. It was a nice project and challenge to do this and i'm very happy how the bike turned out.

Spraying some black paint in a can and then carefully paint the lines like the real "Tequila Sunrise" was the plan.
However this was not so easy as i thought it would be so...
Hi all , i want to share my project i had in mind for a while.
I always liked the Gt karkoram Teaquila Sunrise bike- paintjob, it was like one of my dreambikes , in my unsuccesfull hunt to find a bike like that i gave up because it was always not in the right size or the seller wouldn't ship it...
Finally had the chance to get myself a Giant Mcm, always loved the look of the frame . I picked it up for a real bargain price. Beside the ugly bagage rack and light dynamo and stickers the previous owner slapped on this bike it doesn't looks that bad. It just need some good love handeling on...
