I wanted a gravel bike that fitted me better than my current one and something a little more my style. This trailbreaker 3 fits me perfectly and rides great, but I wouldn't be able to keep up with the group ride I do on Saturday mornings. So after tinkering around and exploring different ideas, I came up with this build and thought I would share it to hopefully help out others who were thinking of doing the same thing.
It turned out better than I expected, enjoy.
Don't think I mentioned the tyre size, 700x40 with about 5mm clearance.

Really nice build. The classic geometry and the paint finish on the frame is very attractive

Thank you very much!

I own a Shogun Prairie Breaker - awesome name.

That turned out great and 12 odd kg is good. 700c looks like it came stock and those riser bars are much better. Like the clear idea to spruce up the frame and the autosol with the drill trick🤣

Cheers dude, it was made for the 700c wheels.

Rear wheel is slightly out of true, recommend trueing yourself, its easy.

@selfactualizer2099 3 месяца назад

needs drop bars, pedals with bolts that grip your shoes or clipless, those style of pedals are very slippery especially if you ride anything wet and dirty (you can also shorten your cables to get a more clean look)

@CradleOfBikes 3 месяца назад

I prefer the flat bars personaly, and the horns provide a different hand position for comfort. I will be building another one though with drop bars though. It has clipless pedals on there now (they're in the last few pic of the video). I leave the cables a little longer because I like to experiment with different bars. What do you ride?

I enjoyed watching your 96 retro build but i am also intrested in the fork you have on your scott. I have the same bike and am looking for a ridged fork.

@CradleOfBikes 3 месяца назад

Glad you enjoyed the video. I got the fork off of a trek hybrid that came up for free. It did lower the bike a little and it bottoms out on the pedal stroke a bit sooner, but it does the job. It makes the bike more ridged and lighter. Hope that helped

Did you get 700C in the back without mods to the frame? I picked up a trail breaker 3 recently and this seems fun

@CradleOfBikes 2 месяца назад

Hi mate, the wheels fit without any modification to the frame. Just the brake adapter mod. You will have so much fun with it, I've put a more endurance handlebars on it now for the longer ride and it's even better. Send me pic if your build if it's not to much trouble and good luck. Cheers. @cradle_of_bikes

@CradleOfBikes Месяц назад

I have no idea actually, all I know is that we have a shit load of shoguns in Australia

@charlessale409 Месяц назад

@@CradleOfBikes yeah that’s what I was thinkin… cool.

@myatnoe6424 2 месяца назад

May I know the tyre size please.

@CradleOfBikes 2 месяца назад

No problem, tyre size is 700x40c

@inthebush3 2 месяца назад

And really what does a 3k gravel bike do that this can't do ? Not much i.m.o It' maybe a kilogram lighter.

@CradleOfBikes 2 месяца назад

Lol, we are on the same page my friend. I do group gravel rides every Saturday, and I am there with my budget parts bin 28 year old shogun, riding next to 3k+ gravel bikes with no trouble at all. Don't get wrong I love the modern gravel bikes, they would be unreal to ride but not necessary if you're not racing. I'd love to through a set of decent carbon wheels on this and give it a good run.
