Here we have my beloved Nordest Albarda Ti. I love this bike - it is incredible! It’s the matching Ti frame and carbon fork in size Medium. I’ve had this bike for a while but honestly I just don’t ride gravel that much, its always been secondary to mountain biking. All that to say, this has roughly 500 miles on it and many of the components have even less. These tires have probably 100 miles on them. This bike is not a race machine, it is the perfect adventure companion! It is just light enough to be nice on the climbs but heavy enough to have some sturdy and comfortable components on it. The most notable features on here are that I run mechanical brakes (I just switch frames a lot and honestly love how easy they are to work with). They are TRP Spires, and honestly if you aren’t bombing crazy steeps they are wonderful brakes. I also find the Shimano 105’s to be comfy on the hands. The other notable thing is the wheelset. These are actually Hope Tech Enduro MTB wheels that are a bit dated for mountain bikes but the perfect inner width for current gravel tires. They are a few grams heavier than a “gravel” set but are ready to shred and have been rock solid for me. They were nearly new when they on this bike. Other than that, we’ve got a huge gear range using the Wolf Tooth link on the derailleur, so it’s got 10-42 in back and 30-46 up front with the Easton cranks and chainrings. I also have a Wolf Tooth 38t oval 1x ring that I will include. I have the cable for the front derailleur setup with a cable link in it so that I can convert to 1x and remove the whole cable from the bars down without having to undo the cable house from the bars. The new chainring works with the rear setup without any changes other removing the front derailleur and cable. Both derailleurs are Shimano GRX. Full build specs are: - Salsa Cowchipper 44cm bars - Chris King Headset - Whisky stem - Whisky Carbon Seatpost - Ergon SR Pro Saddle sm/md - Easton Alloy Crankset - Easton EA90 Crankset - Easton AX Gravel Rings 46/30 & Wolf Tooth Oval 36t 1x - Raceface BB - Hope Tech Enduro 700c Wheel set with straight-pull Hope Pro 4 hubs - TRP Spire Flat Mount mechanical brakes and 160mm rotors - Shimano 105 mechanical shifters/levers - Shimano GRX rear derailleur with Wolf Tooth Road Link DM for extended gear range - Shimano GRX front derailleur - Shimano Deore XT 10-42 cassette - Shimano Chain - Time XC 6 pedals with cleats - Wolf Tooth seat post clamp - Wolf Tooth alloy bar ends - 2 stainless steel Wolf Tooth bottle cages - Cannondale Bar Tape - Teravail Rutland 47mm Tires (I will include my barely used Teravail Rampart 42mm slicks) I will ship it, but if you’re in the Tulsa area OR Northwest Arkansas I will meet you in person. If you’re in Northwest Arkansas I will drive to you to drop it off - I’m always looking for a reason to hop over there for a weekend trip. Make me an offer!!

2022 Kona Unit X size medium. Price includes frame, fork, OneUp V1 dropper, Wolftooth headset, brake adapters and axles. Frame has 100 miles on it. There are scratches as shown in photos which is frustratingly from improper shipping when I bought this brand new. I didn’t put any damage on this and never crashed. OneUp V1 150mm dropper post shows its age but I just did a full rebuild of all internals and seals before posting this ad and the cartridge in it is new, so the the post works perfectly. I’ll leave the headset and brake mounts on the frame for the buyer. This is the most fun little bike and I had great intentions for it but I decided to do some upgrades to my full-suspension bike at the expense of some less-used bikes in my collection. Thanks for looking!
