Firstly, I’m married to one of the Singletrack team, so if you send a lowball I’ll get you banned*
For sale is my Olsen Otepoti Titanium Gravel/Monstercross rig. I’ve loved this bike but after two years of fun I’m just not getting out on it.
It’s spec’d to the gills. well worn in, but not worn out.
Obvious things first. It’s currently set up with a carbon gates belt drive with a 36/32 ratio which is cracking fun on Calderdale hills. I’ve never actually weighed the whole bike as it sits (maybe I will if someone suggests giving me money) but it’s by far the lightest gravel rig I’ve ever had the pleasure of sitting on when in single speed mode. It’s shod with SRAM Rival AXS Shifters, so if you want to run it with gears you’ll just need to pop an AXS Derailleur (not included) on and change the chainring (Included) and Cassette (Included).
Frame – Olsen Otepoti titatiom
Fork – Kineses Carbon with mounting points
Wheelset – Pacenti Forza 30 Carbon (There is a dint in the rear wheel, I’ve ridden Pan Celtic Gravel Rally and bikepacked the Pennine Rally with this dint, if it was gonna go it would have gone by now but buyer beware, whatever).
Crankset – Appleman, 165mm. SPECIAL.

Shifters – SRAM Rival AXS

Handlebar – ZIPP XPLR Alloy

Seatpost – Thompson
Saddle – I’ve got a few different ones I can include, if you’re interested you can choose one.
Pedals not included.
Also included in the sale is;
The original carbon front fork which is designed to fit a rear wheel. Yup. I think this was originally done by Surly, but the point was that you could have a spare rear wheel in case of freehub damage. Novel, but useful if you want to pootle around the world or something.
a 28t rear belt drive cog, shorter belt, and belt cog removal tool (It’s just a strap wrench, but useful to have).
A long talk about how to appropriately tension a belt and how the rock-n-roller dropout system works. It’s pretty neat.
It’s a niche, but very special bike this one. Hard to price. If you’re local you’re welcome to come and give it a spin.
Hit me with any questions!
Ta!

*this is untrue. I’m more likely to get banned for trying to be clever.
