Bruce Gordon Chinook 650b Build

Stumbled across this Bruce Gordon frame in my size on CL for $50 and I had to snag it. I was told it was an early 80's frame that was one of a run of 101 frames which was apparently not something that Mr. Gordon used to do. The frame apparently has several thousand miles on it but other than a few cosmetic scratches, the paint is almost perfect. The fork is not the original but is of nice quality.

I just happened to have a set of 650b wheels lying around so I thought I'd whip up a gravel / trail bike which I have never had before! It rides so incredibly well

Parts:

FSA Carbon Crank
Ultegra 6700 Comps
CaneCreek Levers / Treko Calipers
Nitto Rando Handlebar / Felt Stem
Pacenti SL-23 / BHS hubs
Soma Xpress
Thompson Seat post
Brooks B17
