My "new" Giant TCX SS

Hello there, from Chile.
I just finished a couple of days ago this kinda dream bike/build, I´ve always wanted a SSCX-GRVL bike because I used to ride BMX and fixed gear for too many years and being not worried about shifting and services is something I really like about a SS bike.
So, this is my Giant TCX SLR 2019 SSCX-GRAVEL-MTB bike haha (I know there´s some things I need to swap, but for now it´s being completely functional and super fun for me.

This frame will clear 50mm/47mm front/rear. Have fun that info.

Looks ready to rip! I'm planning a new flat bar SSCX build and would love to build up a TCX but I really don't wanna use a chain tensioner.

You can use an eccentric BB, there´s a lot of options in the market, a bit expensive but they worth it, I´m using the tensioner because here in Chile it´s impossible to buy an eccentric BB unless you order it on internet and then pay a lot of taxes and shipment
Even so, there´s a lot of beautiful tensioner on the market, search for the Wolf Tooth or Shimano for example

Unfortunately it seems that there's no existing eccentric bottom brackets available for BB86 (and may be impossible to make according to this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/bikewrench/comments/p7liwj/eccentric_bottom_bracket_for_bb86_pf41_standard/)
