For a 17t sprocket, you actually don't get double the skid patches with ambi skidding - at least not with a 48t chainring; you need an odd-toothed chainring

SKS makes frame mounts for bottle cages, work great on my soma rush. Also I’m a fixie rider up in gville, it’s a great town for riding !!

Just purchased H+Son Archtype D T Swiss hubs wheelset from Wabi Cycles ; most excellent !! Put on my State 6160 frame and its a new bike . Your setup is absolutely spot on !! i am waiting for an Enve flat bar; which i Always recommend !! great shout out for Zach Gallardo !!

[@newoldsteel]

That build sounds awesome! I've taken the wheels offroad too and on some pretty rough stuff, and they are still holding up 100%!

[@tommyofastora]

Me at the start of the vid "hmmm I wonder if he got the mirror idea from Zach Gallardo" 😂 aaaaand I just finally ordered one now.

[@newoldsteel]

Yep! Glad you got one too! Given the way it looks, it's just too worth it and am glad I've been riding with it. Thanks for watching!

[@tomcruz3774]

This is like the exact opposite of where I live lol. I have the rear view mirror too, super handy since I mainly ride at night. If I see headlights, I give space.

[@newoldsteel]

Oh yea it’s just being proactive about being safe. No matter what other riders say, they’re always going to lose against a vehicle that’s thousands of pounds even if they have the right of way.

[@pervertt]

Clean minimalist build. And there's no such thing as a bad wheel from H+Son. I did consider 165mm cranks when I specified my road bike but chickened out and stuck to the 170mm cranks that"m more familiar with.

[@newoldsteel]

Thank you! Yea the 165mm isn’t too revolutionary to me and I probably would have adapted fine if they were 170mm. It never really fixed the toe overlap either which is why I tried the 165mm

[@mikemann2692]

Should purchased a Miche Crankset and got yourself square bb but if they work good and no complaints nice build.

[@newoldsteel]

Miche do look super nice! Maybe in the future. Thanks for the comment appreciate it!

[@CharlieMetcalf]

Smooth and quiet.

[@newoldsteel]

Oh yea! Almost too quiet at time lol. Thanks for watching!

Just wanted to say I enjoy your content. Thanks for uploading. Talking about gravel bikes a cheaper option I’ve seen might be to get a 80s or 90s mtb and add drop bar as well as some other upgrades to make it a decent gravel bike

[@newoldsteel]

That is awesome to hear I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the content! And thanks for watching as well, appreciate it! Hopefully I find one soon I still have my eyes peeled for one.

[@Andre-jx5kx]

Glad to see you back with on the bike and making videos. I just built up a Kilo WT with drops but this is making me consider going back to flats

[@Ryanpeech]

Where did you find a kilo WT frame?

[@newoldsteel]

Thanks for watching! That’s awesome you got a hold of a kilo wt. luckily with these bikes it’s easy to swap back and forth depending on the ride/day.

[@Andre-jx5kx]

@@Ryanpeech sorry for the late reply but it was a Facebook marketplace pickup. Shorty after I saw a frame in my size pop up too

[@daghozt9605]

Sick edit

[@newoldsteel]

Thank you!

[@zunildaobrien7542]

Fantastic video 👍 HOT Bike 🔥 boy not a single soul wow 🤩

[@lucretiuscaro]

Are those 28mm tires?

[@newoldsteel]

No they are 25mm tires. However, I know the frame can take up to 35mm, but am going to try 38 soon!
