So it goes down to a 1x1 ratio. I'd want something lower than that for long uphills tbh. Just put a triple on it and a 9-speed cassette and you're in business. 24x34 is good for long rides with lots of hills.

I just received my VOR and I must say that I should have paid more attention to the seat tube length because then I would have ordered the large size. Unfortunately I went by the range of heights (5.6-5.10) recommendations. Sadly, I didn't see the problem until I installed the saddle and saw just how far above the frame the saddle had to be for me to get proper leg extension. I'm also checking for toe overlap to see if it is within manageable limits.

Damn.. shipping it back?? I didn’t look at that portion of the spec.. rather based it on TT length…

Lovely VO bike & build. OG Gravelkings in 700x38 have become my favorite all-road plush tire. Enjoy that sweet ride!

So you got the 38 slicks on with plenty of room it looks like, that’s cool.

Top shelf rims with best in business hubs. Far, far more useful investment than carbon hoops, at least for rim brakes. I love, love those brake lever. Will you believe me? I have been waiting on these for 3 years but yet to get them in India. Sigh...for brakes, if anyone is short on budget but wants the same level performance as the Gran Cru ones, consider tektro r559. My custom build is very similar, just that clearance for 38mm tires with fenders.

What size large chainring are you using? I'm using a 46 and it looks like the lower water mount boss on the seat tube may be exactly where the front derailleur band needs to go.

Looks sweet - the only thing I would do is go 2x (white makes a nice one) and change to ultegra derailleurs.

Matty! That bike is a babe!! Don’t know if I could ever love that style of shifting. But I do love the look of that bike. I have randonneuring friends that would salivate all over this bike.

I'm very surprised and pleased that this frameset and the Grand Cru brakes will accept a 38mm tire.
