@MI-XC @TrekCentury well played.
Don’t forget valve alignment.
It’s a KMC X12 chain on a Rival AXS cassette. It is allegedly compatible with all SRAM 12 speed systems I’d be interested if anyone thinks I really must use a flat top chain. I’ve one in my spares box but it’s silver
Completely agree on presentation. It was blowing a gale and 6°C so I grabbed a quick snap before hurrying on my way. I thought I did well to align the valves and Zipp logos though
Crap, now I see the tyre logos aren’t aligned to the valves either. Oh well, I’ve just added new sealant so I’m not messing with the tyres for a few months
Might’ve posted the Ostro before, I can’t remember, but the Fairlight Secan is new and gloriously versatile
My new Canyon Grizl AL 8. Finally able to ride gravel again . Swapped stem from 90 to 100mm and setup tubeless. Will change the bars to 40cm when they arrive. It is relatively heavy but feels good to ride handles well on the road, gravel and singletrack.
That bike looks great! Maybe it’s the photo quality on my phone but I can barely see the welds. The one’s I’ve seen in person (US) don’t look half as good.
Thanks. Yeah the welds are barely visible except for the chainstays bit on the rest of the bike it is really clean. yeah I read online that the us versions have very visible welds.
I think there was an update in the models. In the new ones, the welds are nice and smooth like the one @Morzak posted. Previous models were a bit rough.
PLEASE DON’T TEMPT ME!
Paul Melvin and Boone Ti?
Sharp eye
I just love this bike.
Had a funny comment in Mallorca last week from a Spanish guy who presumably thought I couldn’t understand his comment “a dog on a beautiful bike” and couldn’t help but take the compliment on the bike and ignore the insult to me
you should’ve barked back at the guy.
beautiful bike indeed. great color!
My new Cervelo Soloist, absolutely loving this bike! Bonus is now I can put some chunky tyres back on the gravel bike and start getting dusty
Curious, what is the official name of that color? Kinda looks tan, kinda looks gold, kinda looks yellow, my eyes are confused
The marketing team calls it gold dust
Called gold dust. Looks awesome in person, especially when the sun catches it then it gleams.
