So I've ridden my CFR696 for over 1K+ miles to date since building it last September and so far so good. Question for others who ride their gravel bike very hard, how comfortable are you with the frame descending at…

Did anyone go with the Carbonda drop bars on their build? How do you like them/ hows the quality of product? Also, what the seatposts? Did anyone go with the seatpost from Carbonda and how is it?

edraven wrote: You said around 20lb in the video, did you actually weigh it? I was expecting it to be less than that with all those super light easton parts? I was just using a normal house scale so im not sure how…
If anyone is interested I just made a short video on my CFR696: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgGvbcUtqv8&t=1s
Is anyone running 650b X 2.1" tires on their 696? interested in seeing how much clearance there is running the max tire width possible for this frame.
