"Risen from ruins" , the story behind this bike:

Our old F600 Furio needed an update so I did some gravel bike type mods just for fun.
- Shimano GRX 1x11 chainset. 42T cassette, XT derailleur.
- Hope Mini Mono disc brakes (was V brakes)
- Old Coda wheels of an old Jeykll with narrow tyres.

Bought this 28 dt Swiss weels
I like the look
I hope it’s a good speeder
