DREAM BUILD GRAVEL BIKE: Surly Cross-Check with Shimano GRX & Velo Orange Klunker bars

[List of components below] Hey, Here’s my Surly project. I always wanted a gravel/commute/travel bike, that reflects the funny side of life. So I chose a Surly cross-check, because you can build it how the hell you want. Then I found those huge Velo Orange Klunker bars - they made me remember of my BMX childhood. Add a Brooks saddle for the confort, the new Shimano GRX transmission, Dura Ace downtube shifters, DT Swiss wheels, Panaracer Paselas... and here we are: my new bike, that I mounted all by myself :) So funny to ride. Enjoy! The woman behind the camera: Caroline (coeur avec les doigts).
