I really like my 505 and would consider something this for a road-oriented build. My 505 is currently running road wheels anyway, I just like having the option to easily mount fenders, and a bolt-on top tube bag is…
A threaded BB would have been my preference but I just put a new FSA pressfit BB in my 505 and it was solid for a 600k brevet so far. Had terrible luck with the ZTTO thread-together style, it blew threw the stock…

I finished my 505 build finally... 4iiii took their time installing my PM, and tires took a while to find locally. I took it out on a 400km ride after making sure all the bolts were tight on a 30km shakedown the night…
My 505 came with rubber grommets that fit the holes, I'd imagine the 696 would come with the same ones.
I've had a few pairs and the sidewalls always crack before they wear out. I dunno if I'll ever buy another pair.
Mine also showed up, the colour is pretty much exactly what I wanted and looks like the photo I got from Wing. All the extra bits I ordered were in the box too. Headset went on without a problem. Now I gotta get my act…
Here's my 505, should be on its way over the ocean sometime soon. Supposed to be RAL 4006 and I'm digging the way it looks. Still have to pick up a few parts... and build my wheels. Going with one of those…
I was thinking an IGH might be a good winter/gravel bike for me... mostly just to keep the salt/grit out of the derailleur pulleys, and I can run a chaincase to keep the drivetrain clean too. They're expensive though,…
I've seen BSA bottom brackets that are for 30mm cranks, but I have no idea how long the spindle on the cranks need to be for it to work out. I'd poke around wheels manufacturing's site to see if they make an adapter or…

I've come across bears on rides, twice now. First was a grizzly and luckily it was far away and going down a valley away from the road but I still turned around and rode away as fast as I could. The second time was in…

Yeah the 505 seems to have gone through a few BB changes over the years. I'm not 100% which crank and BB option I'm going to use since it seems there's a lot of options these days.
I got the 505 and 696 confused, sorry.
Nice colours! I've seen a lot of shimano cranks on bikes posted in this thread. I'm sure there are a few options for running shimano cranks on a bb386 frame.

I bought the 505 for those reasons too, it's almost a perfect match to my specialized roubaix geometry but now I can run wider tires. I already rode the roubaix on unpaved roads around here and didn't want anything more…
