I imagine you might be able to fit a front mech but there are no cable guides fitted for that and there's a hole for a dropper cable near the bottom of the seat tube that might get in the way.
Thanks, not by design then.
Out for delivery today
😀

Previous models came with either 1x or 2x and I don't think the geometry has changed year on year so the frame may be the same - might be worth an email to Ragley to confirm. Also, the cable guides are bolt and they sell different versions - looking at the bike images it may well come with the triple version anyway.
Is anyone running a dropper? Presumably it is external up until the seat-tube?

Mine's dispatched but no tracking yet. Fingers crossed it turns up before the long weekend!
Not sure how to do photos is it showing in the post above?

Here you go:
How you do that? Lol tell me

Don't tell him until he's unboxed the bike and taken some pics

Don’t tell him until he’s unboxed the bike and taken some pics
Good point. I've crossed it out until he does so!
No despatch notification here yet (ordered Friday evening) but then again I stupidly checked out as a guest rather than logged in so maybe I won't get updates.

Well done.
And I won't tell him that he can right click on his image and "Save image link", then paste that into the IMG tags in the forum software.
Oh shit.
@TheGingerOne - one image on the Off-Road CC review shows a bottom bracket cable guide in place on a recent purple frame, so it should be quite straightforward to convert to a 2x bottom pull setup.

I'm working from home but gotta do certain thing by a certain time etc etc driving me mad I can't unbox yet sorry folks will report back soon
And pedals not here till tomorrow or Friday 😭 took me a while to decide my bad hahaha
They still aren't showing are they?
Very nice.. looks more blue than the expected purple, or is that just down to the lighting?
Must be the light it's VERY purple 😊
Looks lovely.
The hoods on those brifters look absolutely massive in your pics, maybe it's just the angle though?
No pic is pretty accurate they are pretty big
Righto, must be the fashion these days then eh?
Going out on a limb....would prefer purple. Will blend in nicely with the bus stops round here (purple is the office Highland council colour) 😃
Blue is too much like the old fleet of 2007 odd Kona Jake's I used to look after. Would give me twitching flashbacks to trying to align the pads on those canti brakes made of cheese they had.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a more purple tinge IRL too.
I don't want people thinking I'm on one of those old Ribble winter road bikes, eh?
Mine's arrived 😀
Frame looks very nicely finished and does look more purple-y IRL.
Hopefully I'll get out for a quick spin this eve and get a pic then.
Just had the dispatch email so hopefully be here in time for the weekend!
GRX400 brakes can use K03S and the more recent K05S (no fins)/L05A (fins)
It's sometimes easier to look for Shimano RS805/RS505 compatible pads; the newer shimano pads last longer.
The disc will specify resin pads (or not)
First job: brake pad screws out, smear with high-temp anti-seize and replace
Enjoy the new bike
Are the pistons prone to sticking ? I’m getting Grx400 on another bike soon and wonder if it’s a good idea for me too .
Are the pistons prone to sticking ?
Mine haven't ~3years. The problem is the slot head screw that retains the brake pad (part 11 on this drawing
)
If it corrodes it's a pain to remove
Had my dispatch note and tracking number. Ordered Saturday morning.
Thanks , I’ll have a look in to that
Here are a few pics of mine from yesterday eve.
On Insta so you'll have to click, sorry (blame STW for never fixing the embed functionality, not me).
Very pleased apart from the rear brake is a bit borked, was getting less power throughout ride until just pulling to bar. I'll need to see if I can find a leak.
Frame feels comfy. Not sure the 650b wheels will be for me most of the time, but they do kind-of make the trail come alive now and then.
Oh, very purple! In a Cadbury Dairy Milk kind of way.
Still no despatch note for a Friday evening purchase. Still, as I've not yet broached the purchase with the household financial manager, that's probably not a bad think 😃
Do you still think the hoods are massive mate or was it my pic?
From some angles they look massive, but not so much from others.
Really like the ergonomics though and I see what people mean about braking from the hoods being better on GRX brifters.
Am I right in saying it ships with the stem in the negative position? and if I flip it it will give me a little more height? and if I do how tight to I tighten the stem on a carbon steerer? I got a like hand torque thingie coming in the post tomorrow, also how much force do you tighten pedals on with if you can quantify force in words - I
Im back into biking after some years (sorry for all questions) fond memories of my old steel 1997 kona lavadome are sending me down he steel path , I upgraded it to the 1998 kona pahoehoe it was never the same much preferred the lava dome which 3 times less cost.
I decided to upgrade my last bike 2012 KHS 2000 sl with a new frame a few weeks ago the KHS had been dormant for over 11 years
Kona in the pic not mine but same one other 2 was/are mine
why my pics still not showing 🙁
Pedals I barely tighten with much force at all so that I can undo them easily at a later date. They don't come loose due to the thread direction when pedalling.
Stem can be flipped. Obviously you need to sort the tension on the steerer before tightening the stem to the steerer, but most stems are 5nm. Should be written on the stem

The URL you used takes me to a page with several photos. You need to click on the photo you want to post so that it opens its own page and then right click on the photo and select "Copy image link" (or similar - your browser may vary) to get the URL to use.
how much force do you tighten pedals on with
The recommended torque is around 40NM which is loads and can make removal a challenge. I tend to go for 'snug and then a bit' and never had any issues. Definitely make sure you grease the threads to aid removal though.
Yeah pedals have arrived today (I decided on the nukeproof horizon CS) there's some Teflon grease coming from Amazon should be there by the time I get home so snug and a bit it is
Mine has just turned up unexpectedly (tracking still says it's at the depot) and.. it is definitely PURPLE!!
No pictures until transplants and upgrades have been carried out.
congrats mate, what you upgrading?
Some advice needed relating to the Trig please guys, I'm 16st been out the biking game for a while tubless wasnt really a thing when I was last into biking, if Im doing about 50/50 trails/road is it worth going tubeless? I 2 minutes ride from Cannock chase/Gentleshaw common so thats where I will be riding. Ive always used higher pressures years ago cuz of being heavy 50-60psi
