It Gravel Jim........89 Marin build

Next is to work out some gearing. So options are

2x with 36/26 front...but i don't have a compact front mech and mtb wont play nicely with the shifters, but fiddleable over just 2 cogs or making a new cable tag.

3x but, tbh, its not really the style im after, but simple to execute with existing xt bits.

1x but then I might be short of gears or have huge gaps...but it might look cool...for a change....and I've got a few odd bits that might do the trick.

Hummmm. Need to think on that.
 
I went 2x on my Yates, I just can't get on with the gearing, it's going to 3x fairly soon

But I think Gravel Jim may as well be 1x while you try out the whole concept.
