State Thunderbird SS CX

Was on the hunt for a CX/Gravel project. Found this T-Bird. The original plan was to add gears to it and make it a 1x. I did more research about this bike and more about SSCX then decided to keep it SS. The guy I bought this from used it primarily as a city commuter. I changed/upgraded a lot of components and took it to my first gravel race. I was the only one in the Single speed category and I placed very well despite not being a climber.
