Here's my Motobecane Fantom Titanium . I don't race cross but with a wheel/tire change it does double duty on road and gravel.

Rebuilt an old cross bike from gravel. Di2 seems to work with an 11-32 cassette; I did add the Wolf Tooth Road Link to feel a bit more comfortable and it shifts awesome. Also just installed G-One 35mm and it looks like that may be as wide as I can go. I might order some cheap 38mm tires just to see.

Well that was embarrassing. I really like how they show up just fine for me when I'm logged in. Hopefully they will show up now. Old bike - new bike

The cassette is 11-42, I believe it is Sram 1130 level. There is some noise coming up when on the 42, I didn't get a chance to look at it before running to work. My guess is either the chain guide needs alignment or the B screw needs to go in.
Overall this bike is awesome. Feels solid out of the saddle and so smooth going down gravel.
I did notice when I took off the dork disk that there is a cassette spacer, like when 11 speed came out for 10 speed cassettes. I haven't paid too close attention to new stuff lately but my guess would be 12 speed road groups coming. I have seen Sram has it for mountain but my understanding is it uses a very different freehub.

Keep it up and your name will be on the letterhead before you know it.
As we say in The South, that's a big'n. A couple of guys here are going to have an emotional meltdown when they read that.

It looks a little off on a bike with drop bars, but with only a 40 chainring up front it works well. I was even bouncing around the idea of putting a 38 on it to try the Crusher in the Tushar next year. That ride has 10,000 ft of climbing in under 70 miles.
