Jonathan’s steel dirt road

After a decade of road riding on carbon frames, Jonathan was ready for something different. A fully custom, steel Dirt Road was the solution, ready to explore the best that Alabama's countryside has to offer.

Jonathan’s build is ready for anything he might throw at it. The SRAM Force AXS and Eagle mullet drivetrain paired beautifully with Ingrid’s machined, all-black crankset, chainring, and cassette. A full ENVE cockpit, including their flared gravel bars, are great for comfort and control on rough descents. The ENVE G23 wheels are currently set up with Rene Herse’s Snoqualmie Pass 700x44c, though there’s plenty of additional space for some chunkier knobbies if desired. Final touches like the Paul seatpost clamp, industry-standard King Cages, 3D printed brass headtube badge, and custom paint details really set this bike off.

This bike was actually the subject of a recent dream build video. It was great to see one of my custom frames built up by someone with a similar attention to detail, and I highly recommend checking it out.
