1996 (I think?) 700c GT Virage (see page 40 of the 1996 GT Catalog). Built it up to use as a more practical touring rig than my 26er build. I was a little hesitant to build up an aluminum frame, but pretty comfy with the 40c tubeless gravelkings and contact points that work for me. This is my second geared bike build. Looking pretty good for a 30 year old frame 👀 what do y’all think? A little skeptical of the rear brake set up, but it held up on a 25 mile test ride. Still working on fine tuning that.

I was riding an old SE Lager frame for years that was somewhat limited in tire clearance so I swapped everything over to the new state 4130 colorway. Massive tire clearance and been super happy with the ride so far 😈

My first non-fixed gear bike build. As seen in a video posted by my friend on this sub a few days ago. 😎 I’ll be swapping from these mini v brakes to regular v brakes with travel agent style adapters - these barely clearly the tires but worked good enough for a few test rides. What do y’all think?
