#EastonDreamBuild: Nicholas Kupiak's Naked


This week we're highlighting Overland's content team member, Nicholas Kupiak's recently rebuilt titanium Naked frameset.

Hand-built locally in the wilds of Quadra Island by Sam Whittingham, founder, designer, and builder of Naked Bicycles, Nicholas' Naked, normally set up for cx racing, has been rebuilt for gravel riding this summer.

 

               

Nicholas Kupiak’s Naked Ti CX build:

EC90 AX Wheelset set up with 38c Schwalbe G One Bites
EC90 SL Crankset with 1x setup
EC90 SLX Handlebars, 42cm width
EC90 SL Seatpost

Shimano GRX 1x
Shimano XTR Pedals

Easton Overland #bikecheck with @ridegradient ⁠⠀ -⁠⠀⁠⠀ Nicholas’ custom-built titanium @nakedfactoryracing CX has been adapted for #longformatcyclocross with some subtle changes.⁠⠀ -⁠⠀⁠⠀ Using @shimanogravel GRX set up 1x, the gearing ratio gets a little bigger, the #EC90AX carbon wheels are set up with @schwalbetires G-One Bites that are a little beefier, and the stem gets a little steeper. Perfect for big days out racing and filming with the team.⁠⠀ -⁠⠀⁠⠀ A unique aspect of the Easton Overland team for 2020 is the individual bike builds we will have for each team member! Stay tuned - we'll be sharing more of our athletes' bikes during the coming days!⁠⠀⁠⠀ -⁠⠀⁠⠀ #framebuilderfriday #eastonoverland #eastonadvantage #gravel #bikes #cycling ⁠⠀ ⁠

We'd also like to take a moment to give a shout out to small local businesses, such as Naked Bicycles, and encourage you to support them in any way you can during these trying times.
