The reason for choosing the Origine Graxx frame: in addition to my personal colors, I decided on this frame for its fair price/quality ratio, as well as the holes on the fork and under the frame (bikepacking); but also for its integrated wiring system in the headset, with a view to not having cables in the handlebar bag. Combined with the raised GPS holder, everything fits neatly.
This bike was built à la carte for ultra-endurance races. In the end, it only rode 1500km in Italy in October, in dry weather. Unfortunately, I'm selling it because I'm changing projects. No major dents or scratches to mention, just light wear from normal use over 1500km. This bike doesn't take up much space, so I'm in no hurry to resell it.
Please note:
- Frame size XL
- Stack: 630mm, Reach: 404mm (https://www.origine-cycles.com/fr-BE/velo/gravel/graxx-gto#detailAndGeo2)
- The fork has not been cut, it's the maximum size proposed by the brand. It measures 300mm according to the invoice, inserted in a 205mm head tube.
- A rubber patch has been placed under the fork holes to protect the frame from an Ortlieb pannier holder. I can remove them cleanly without worry.
- Apart from the saddle, everything was bought between July and September 2023, so there are warranties.
- More thorough washing before sale of course.
