The boring-looking one is the “new” one - even though it’s actually two years older than the “old” one.
I snapped the frame on my previous bike, so I bought another almost identical one - as one does when they don’t learn from their mistakes.
My old one has a 12x1 drivetrain, while the new one has a 10x1, and the gearing ratio is awful. It’s way too stiff to pedal uphill, even in the lowest gear. I’ll start by swapping the front chainring for a smaller one, but I might end up converting it to an 11x1 or 12x1 setup later on.
Other than that, there’s just a ton of duct taping to do.

Since the last Post I grabbed some cheapo alu forks and cranks for 1by setup, and the bike is starting to feel great. I had a weekend trip with brother in law and realized I really wanted to add then some proper panniers and aero bars for more comfort over longer distances.
Oh, and replaced the old tiagra derailleur with a grx, works great with tiagra 4700 shifters

Now also considering throwing in some 27.5" gravel wheels with 40mm-ish tires and disc brake conversion, but not sure if I want to commit on that yet.
