Finally the weather cleared enough for me to get out on my first gravel bike build, my first 1X build and possibly my first SRAM groupset build, but definitely my first SRAM drop bar hydro disc build! I've been waiting for one bloody tiny screw before I could test ride the thing! I wanted to...

Good luck! I will be getting the popcorn out! :)

Interested

I'd like the shifters if still available please, I assume they are 3x9. Cheers John
