Nice!! Greg is one of the best dudes out there. He's taken care of me every trip to Alaska.

Stoked for this build. Scott worked with me to package together the frame some some essential components. Every other fat bike frame, and i mean *every* as i've scoured them all outside of custom, has either very short or very conservative geo (presumably for snow?) and this is the complete opposite--long and slack (and available in XL). Should make a great 3 season ripper.

Greg designed that bike for the ripper trails around Anchorage. They essentially have groomed DH trails in all of the town networks. The shop dudes are rippers.
 
My credit card has 15% cash back deal on Backcountry this week so...

And then those Giant deals were too good not to try:

Congrats! Be sure to clean the fixing bolt for the eeWings really well and apply a bit of blue thread locker on it.

Also, the tool included with the cranks kinda sucks and I recommend picking up a triple-square MT16 bit like this one or similar.

Thanks. He included the 8mm hex fixing bolt upgrade as well as the original 14mm fixing bolt. 2 Camo spiders, 3mm offset for boost and 6mm offset for std.

Ooo... 8mm upgrade bolt... I didn't know about that - thanks! Unfortunately, not in stock right now, but that would make life a bit easier and be one less tool I'd have to cart around.
 
Got new frame protection to change shit up a bit. Went with Groundkeeper sparkle Gold for the gravel rig, sparkle Silver for the Stevo.

Also got a crash replacement incoming; new Deity Supervillains. Went with silver this time around (hence the sparkle frame protection).

I put the gold glitter frame protection on the gravel bike. While I really like the effect, it's not working for me being so spaced out. Obviously, it's not practical to buy more protection and apply it, so I am going in the direction of wrap. I picked out this color:

Gonna go with a muted metallic gold for the logos as well.

Any insight on how to best go about doing this would be appreciated. I'm ordering 2 1x5 foot rolls to give me plenty of material to make mistakes.

I once sold some bike stuff to a guy on FB marketplace and when he showed up, he was wearing a tshirt advertising automotive wraps and installation. Curiously, I asked him about wrapping a bike and he said he has tried it but its even moreso challenging to get it looking nice from his perspective as an installer. He explained that unlike a car where there's large, smooth panels with gaps to tuck the edges under, on a bike its a large, continuous space-frame that will have to have a lot of stretching and seams and will never look as nice (assuming he was talking carbon monocoque). If it was an old steel bike with crisp angles and, you could hide some of your seams there i suppose.

A friend of mine is in the business and did custom printing on wraps for her bike and her husband's bike.

Yeah, it kind of looked like shit TBH.
