Bruce Gordon was the godfather of gravel bikes. This one is not one of his custom builds but one of a hundred or so he had handbuilt in Japan to his specifications. I read somewhere he made them do a full miter on the tubes even with the lugs, so that's cool, and makes for a solid frame even under a load. This would have been a light touring bike which is exactly how I have used it for the last few years. It really is a wonderful bike but it is just a little too small for me at 58cm. I rode it again today just to be sure this is what I want to do but unfortunately it's just a hair too small. It is outfitted with all the original XT components with the exception of the front hub which was changed out for a later model LX at some point in it's life. It has a Japanese made Strong seat post, Ti railed WTB saddle, and Cinelli bar and stem. I recently rebuilt the rear wheel with a NOS Mavic MA40 to match the front as the original rear rim was a single wall Araya and was giving me trouble with the fatter tires. I just put the fenders and 32cm tires on it for the winter but I still have the 39cm gravel tires for it if you want them. Just let me know. Look at the pictures they tell more of the story of this bike. Feel free to send me a message and I can fill in any other details. Thanks
Jon

New update. I have put a taller nitto stem on it and taken the toe clips off but it still has the XT pedals.

Question Can you post or send me a picture of the lugwork for the lugs that connect the downtube and top tube to the head tube, as well as a closer one of the seat cluster?

For sure. I’ll be home later this afternoon and can do that.

jrizzo970 Seller February 2, 2024 1:14pm PDT

Posted them up for you. Let me know if you need something else.

Hey still have this? Saw someone commented last week about purchase and pick up

jrizzo970 Seller January 28, 2024 10:01pm PDT

Yes I still have it. When someone wants you to reply to a personal email it’s usually a scam.

I really like this bike. I would have purchased it but I typically ride a 56. What a beauty.

jrizzo970 Seller November 10, 2023 8:43am PDT

Hi! Thank you for your comments. It is a lovely bike I still ride it almost every day to work.

Hello, it’s 58cm Center to center on the seat tube and 57cm center to center on the actual top tube
