Transforming A 26" Mtb Into A Budget-friendly 700c Gravel Beast | Flat Bar Conversion

In this episode I think I’m touching on either genius or madness, as I take a budget 26” MTB frame and convert it into a 700c flat bar gravel bike!

This requires some big adaptions to the frame, but nothing that cannot be done with patience and a ball hammer!

I’ll be doing a video on these changes in another episode - showing how it’s done too - but for today we are concentrating on the full conversion and its viability.

I’m going for a 3x9 groupset on this one, as well as v-brakes and racks for the full tour/bikepack options!
