David's custom-painted Curve GXR flat-bar

Build

David was after an all-round bikepacking bike, that wasn't quite as aggressive as the standard Curve GXR build, but would still be capable of long-distance riding (like the Curve Expeditions).

We settled on a build with Curve's own Remlaw bars, which sweep forward before they sweep back, giving a fairly aggressive flat-bar position, without being quite as stretched out as drop bars.

David wanted a low-maintenance and reliable groupset, so we used SRAM's mechanical Eagle 90 Transmission, paired with a SRAM Rival crankset for faster gearing.

Curve's own Candy Factory Paintworks took care of the custom Australian-themed green and gold fork stripes.
