Frame Modifications - Surly Gravel Conversion - Part 1

Part 1 of 3. In an attempt to maximize the use of the parts bin and minimize overlap between bikes, I’m converting my Surly 1x1 into a geared drop bar gravel bike. The main job here is to reconfigure a bunch of braze-ons. After stripping down the frame, I do some frame modifications to give the frame a cleaner look and make it more suitable to a geared drivetrain. This is more of a "How I Do It" video than a "How To" video. 00:00 0:24 Previous Builds 1:40 Geometry 2:32 Not a Normal 1x1 3:15 The Plan 3:45 Part Removal 9:17 Braze-On Removal 10:08 Adding New Braze-Ons 13:38 Frame Mods Done
