Cobbled a Gravel Optimo for a friend:
My friend has been wanting a commuter, gravel, CX, winter ride. Got this frame to me with parts and Voila:
I stole the fizik saddle and stuck that one on for a joke. ;)
Although it is actually quite comfortable...
He is 6'-4", in case it looks large. ;)

I don't know how to tell other than the obvious look of it. No markings on it. The rides better than I expected, even with the first ride with my XT wheelset with Pave 27mm Vitts.
The fatter tire with less air of course ride even cushier...

I looked at it with scrutiny and it looks like a Wound Up alright. A carbon steerer as well, so upper end unit. The legs are solid black and no carbon showing like every other Wound Up I have seen. So maybe it is/was OEM made for a bike company??
Not bad considering the bike was paid $200.00 for just with no wheels, and it had 9 speed Chorus on it too. My friend is the same guy who found the Scott Addict LTD frameset for $550.00. He is a real deal sniffer to be sure. Considering the Scott LTD frameset MSRP was $7k
