This is my T50 Beach Bike. It's a Kickstarter framekit with fat tires for navigating sandwash and stuff at Va. Beach.

Specs:
1x11 drivetrain
11-50T Sunrace 11 speed cassette
42T Cruzbike e-ring
Origin8 170mm 110mm BCD crankset, square taper
116mm Shimano BB (chainline perfect 47.5 mm at the center cog of the cassette)
Shimano M8000 derailleur looooooong cage
Shimano M8000 trigger shifter
Wolftooth 22mm derailleur hanger extension
Vuelta Starlite disc wheels, Presta
Kenda 26x1.9 tires
160mm Forte discs
Forte (Tektro) Calipers
Origin8 Spacebar (inverted)
Bizzaro red & black grips
Stubby stem
Ventisit comfort seat pad
Cruzbike T50 kickstand

Va. Beach is mostly flat as a board, with only a couple of natural hills and some overpasses with separated bike lanes, so I may switch to a 46T elliptical chainring, but for now gonna try it with the CB e-ring from a Quest.

I may add some flared cruiser fenders in keeping with the beachbike thing.

I really like the simplicity and compactness of this bike.

Did not mention - I used a SRAM PG1150 chain, 120 links. Works really well with the huge cassette and the M8000 derailleur.

That's a beauty Doug. I really like how my T50 handles, seems to start out more smoothly than my sofrider. It should be a blast near the beach.
