This custom steel gravel bike was handbuilt by Dan Chambers, owner of Danson Technical. I purchased it with the intention of getting back into cycling, but unfortunately, health issues have prevented me from doing so. The bike originally came with Specialized Roubaix Pro 30/32mm tubeless tires, but I switched them out for Marathon E-Plus 35mm tires with reflective sidewalls and AirPlus inner tubes for winter commuting. The clearance on the bike is enough to accommodate 38mm tires, but I opted for the 35mm for even more puncture protection and faster rolling. The inner tubes are also puncture resistant and retain air longer, allowing for longer periods between pumping up the tires. The previous tire setup, Specialized Roubaix Pro 30/32mm, and tubeless valves are included with the bike.
In addition to the tires, the bike also comes with Magicshine Allty 2000 front and SeeMee 200 rear lights. The front light has an OLED screen that displays the battery life and the battery is replaceable, making it a long-lasting investment. For longer journeys, you can also carry a spare battery. The rear light has a secondary light that points downwards, illuminating the ground, your bike, and your legs. This is an evolution of the rear lights that used to project laser lines. The frame size is based on a 60cm Mason Bokeh from 2020 and was built in 2022. For reference, I am just under 6'3" tall and the bike fits me perfectly. It is in excellent condition with no scratches and the black color with a gold spray top coat is truly stunning.
The bike is equipped with a Columbus steel frame with internal routing, allowing for a clean and sleek look. The frame can also be split by the rear cassette to accommodate a belt drive. The Columbus carbon fork also has internal routing. The wheelset is a Borg 32mm carbon wheelset, built in Britain. The bike is fitted with Schwalbe Marathon E-Plus 35mm tires and AirPlus inner tubes. The Easton EA70 cranks and Race Face 42t chainring provide a smooth and efficient ride. The XTR pedals, Sram Force AXS levers and calipers, and Easton EA90 110mm stem and seatpost are all brand new. The saddle is a Specialized 168mm Bridge Comp with Mimic saddle and SWAT
