Top notch Gravel / Cyclocross Bike Build from an old MTB

Transforming a more than 20-year-old Klein Attitude into a Gravel Bike for the rougher terrain.
I had to change almost everything:
-3X9 to 1X11
-Mech V Brakes to Hyd Disc Brakes
-Suspension fork to rigid
-Flat bar to drop bar
-Suspension to dropper seat post
-26" to 27.5" Wheels
I hope some of you like it as much as I do.

After around 2000 they had disc mounts on the Attitude, not liked by many as the 'mount' wasn't well executed. The hydraulic cable tie method is nicely done in this video but I think I would prefer the simple elegance (and weight saving) of a V brake. Nonetheless this is a beautiful video in terms of workmanship and presentation, nicely done!

Love the Niner fork, the disc brake adapter at the dropout, the the stick on cable guides, and the way you used the cable routing through the top tube for the dropper post. Quality parts used throughout. Well thought out build man.

[@Velofil]

Thanks really appreciate that 👍

[@GLOBc]

Very interesting. I've resurrected my +25yo Chromo hardtail for commuting, and contemplating the next step similar to what you've done. For now I've converted to Disc and 1x10, kept the 26'ers with some 2.4" Holy Rollers (@50 psi). I've used a Shimano Zee RD (Short Cage Freeride version) with an 11-42 HG500 cassette and a 36t chainring (needs bigger ~42t).

[@comethiburs2326]

depends on the frame's weight. if it's not at least one of the mid tier alloys, it's not worth throwing too much at it. i dont know, you could be looking at a 90's 3kg hunk or a fantastic sub 2.1Kg high end cromo. also who the heck needs hardpack 2.4's on a daily commute? no disrespect here, but mine never was exactly smooth and glass free pavement...and i've done away with 700/23 to 28C road tyres. instead i'd go for good allround tyres in the 1.75 to 2" range. armadillos, marathons, gravelkings... something reasonablely light, robust and silent. tyre and wheel weight plays a LOT in start and stop traffic. yours are heavy AF. if you're in pain, look up to your saddle and posture.

[@GLOBc]

@@comethiburs2326 thanks for the incites. The wheels are definitely a 'to be replaced' item (freewheel is about to explode), so far it's mainly my winter hill climb rig (no point thrashing the big enduro bike & $$ tyres on the road) and gets a fair bit of gravel road work too, they have also (touchwood) avoided punctures on the commute, and are the same dia as a 700x28 - cruises at ~32-35kph with the gearing and 50psi in them. Was put together on the cheap as a 'proof of concept' as the frame is good quality tange double butted tubing and thought it was worth a go - which it was. Just scoping out where to next to improve more - lots of ideas :)

[@indy2867]

I bought a 1983 Trek 850 frame to build similar. Tange chromo Champion #3 over sized tubing, all 10 7 10 butted with a 12 9 12 down tube. It’s a little porky but I’m building a rough terrain tourer with it. 48cm chain stays!! 😍 I’ve been searching FOREVER for this year’s model, specifically because it has a brazed lugged fork crown. I wanted a classic look and was specifically avoiding a unicrown fork. It has single back eyelets and double fronts, so I’m planing on 1.5” tires, fenders, front rack for the main load and a rear rack to lash a sleeping system and a tent. Going for a classic Camper Bike feel, like what you saw being handmade in the 40’s and ‘50s out of France. A rough stuff fellowship build!

[@Ridingforsanity]

Looks cool, I’d be curious what Stack and Reach is after converting the handlebars to drops compared to straight bars.

[@wstephenson]

TL;DR: don't use the same stem with drop bars, as they will add 50-75mm of reach. Just add the length of the stem used to the bar reach of the drops, and compare that the length of the stem used with straight bars. If the bars have any sweep, subtract a centimeter or so. And that gives you the change in reach. Stack won't change much if you keep the same stem angle and don't add spacers, but if you had riser MTB bars on, and don't use a drop bar with rise, it will decrease by the missing rise.

[@gauravs4564]

[@mikescott3355]

Can you post a parts list? Specifically, I am interested in some of the adapter parts, like the rear disc brake adapter, and the derailleur hanger adapter, etc. Also, what did you mean by tinkering with the geometry?

[@mrbuddha5263]

The rear disk adapter was specific to this bike, and the the rear hanger is a Wolf Tooth Road Link Direct Mount. I assume "Tinkering Geo" means he had to shorten/lengthen stems, cranks, seat post ect... going from a 100mm stem to a 70mm stem alters the geo huge.

[@filipdzi]

I think that he meant choosing the right fork, which allowed him to raise the bottom bracket, changed head tube angle and maybe wheelbase

[@kevinthomson6324]

[@Ahapenootjes]

Nicely done! I've got only one remark: Please hold your torque wrench at its handle/end. Otherwise you could easily over tighten the bolts! This is because the pivot point where most torque wrenches actually measure the torque is a small distance away from the axis of the wrench's driver. Just imagine a torque wrench where this pivot point is much further away from the driver and then it becomes easier to understand why this matters.
