Curve GXR Kevin – Fabian
With Fabian we planed a very special project based on the Curve Cycling GXR titanium frameset that actually shows how versatile it is. The setup includes two wheelsets. 1st: fast with carbon Duke World Runner 50 SLS2 rims and Teravail Rampart tyres, 2nd: offroad with Newmen Evolution SL A.30 rims with wide Maxxis Ikon tyres. Both sets of rims combined with Erase rear hub and dynamo in front for use with lights. For shifting Shimano GRX 810 combined with Garbaruk cage and cassette. In front a Rotor 2INpower Powermeter crank and matching Q-Ring. Orange seatclamp and headset from Hope Tech are a perfect match to the orange Garabruk details. PRO carbon seatpost, Discover stem and handlbar with ENVE bar finish the bike nicely!
