Nice work

[@DominiqueCodere]

Merci pour ce magnifique vidéo. Hope you will keep on building OPEN bikes

[@jelecycliste8895]

Once again a great vidéo Andreas!!!

[@dhavalshah2289]

Thanks for the dream bike build!

[@DominiqueCodere]

I have this exact same bike with the carbon Easton wheels and other light specialized components. It was Andreas at Pignons sur roues who’s put it together. Riding this gravel bike is like powder skiing. With slicks on I also use my UPPER as a road bike. Ideal when on vacation only one bike to carry.

Awesome video

🤩🤩🤩

[@mattkrivosudsky9057]

It’s too bad the hole for the front mech di2 cable isn’t higher up, near the braze on. There is a lot of exposed cable. The updated UP frame will hopefully correct that.

[@AndreasIhm]

Not shows in the video but I route the cable in a neat way that does not risk catching in anything. I agree though, the hole could be higher. Thanks for watching!

[@kkkwwwaaakkk]

Everybody hides the FD cable, but not the RD cable. Only professional teams sometimes use a zip-tie around the B-link or derailleur hanger

[@21gunblade]

Whats the handlebar? Thanks

[@AndreasIhm]

Easton EC70 44cm if I recall correctly.

[@21gunblade]

are they durable? thinking about it actually@@AndreasIhm

[@AndreasIhm]

@@21gunblade very much. I have the gravel version on my bike and they have been great for the past 3 years now.

[@mikes7806]

Can I ask what is the size of these Conti tires?

[@AndreasIhm]

Hi, thanks for watching! I believe these are 700x32 on the Reynolds AR 41 X rims. This build dates from early summer so I might be mistaking. Hope it helps!
