Its fine, not utterly incredible, but fine. I find the whole laser thing kind of a pain. I dont want to have to do it, especially on the rear end. Qr/horizantal dropout frames are fine, But Thru axle takes a bunch of fuckery to make sure the axle is square, Its very easy to have a not straight enough rear end unless youre super careful. Same goes for the seat tube holding thing. So yeah, its not awful, im glad i have something to build with, but it can be painful. At some point i will just build a proper one with extrusion and al like my first one, but i dont have access to a mill atm. Just need to find a bigger workshop, and money for a mill.

After the gravel bike im planning a proper track bike, im really syked. Will have an ISP, and be generally cool i think. Got a hefty hss formed tube for the downtube with a crazy shape. with that dt and st it should be really stiff

Im working on a full on gravel bike for @Grifffff at the moment, some pics here. Should be a right laugh. Columbus mtb stays mean itll clear 700*45ish and 650*50something i think with a road double. Was a bit of a challenge to squeeze everything in, but ive done the hard bits now.

Will let you know :) Also i still have your light! Will pop down asap to return it

Thanks! Yeah I put the double on so i could use it as a road bike, i ran it with the wheels on the other road bike for a bit. It felt good, bit less stiff as the tubing is narrower but not bad. Position didnt feel very roady tho, coming from my other bikes.
I kinda wish id just run it with a single as i couldve pushed the tyre clearance a bit, but im not too fussed at the moment
