This is my Aethos - my first proper road bike and I love it.

Finally got the fit right (165 cranks and a 80mm stem). The bike really shines on this alpine gravel here.

I LOVE that pink! It really pops in a sea of black bikes (coming from a former black bike owner)

2909

Thanks! My roadbike is black so i figured id go all out for the other. Can always paint it black in the future if I ever get bored of it.

Changed a few parts on the road bike. It’s seen quite a few kms over the years but I absolutely love it.

2021 FUEL EX 9.9: Fox 36 Factory 140mm, Fox Float X shock, Line Pro 30 wheels, Code RSC brakes, X0 transmission with Quarq, Reverb AXS. 14kg, though on a fun trail bike who’s really counting

More business upfront with 165’s and more party in the back with 10-52.

And of course Thunder Burts 2.1 (clipped in the back)

Impressive you got the 2.1’s in there! My 50 mm rubbed every time I put down power and the bike flexed.

2915

My new Checkpoint.

Great minds think alike @jkarrasch :thinking:

I picked up my Checkpoint Gen 3 SL6 a few weeks ago, and quickly swapped over to 170mm Force E1 cranks and 40cm Zipp XPLR SL 70 bars (even at 6’5” the stock 46cm bars were way too wide!!). Ditched the junk stock tires for Specialized Tracer 700x50 too. I’m coming from a Salsa Cutthroat that had a Force D1/Eagle mullet and the Checkpoint is a rocketship in comparison.

My Cannondale Scalpel HT (2022) Currently in Hill Climb Config.(28t Sprocket) I’ve got a 36t for Gravel mode and everything in between for XC

Purple Mist was only available for one year, but it is :pinched_fingers:t2:

I’ve named her Psylocke, hence the sticker on the Lefty.

That pink on the crux has to be one of the nicest looking factory paints I have seen. My wife has one, and the blue that comes through the pink in the right light is just impressive. I need to sort out some shorter cranks for that bike as well.

My 3 BMCs. The Teammachine R was actually the first one in the uk.

2920

My Lynskey Pro-GR (2024) gravel bike with SRAM Force AXS, eeSilk cranks, Absolute Black chainring. A great bike for all the old drovers roads and paths through my local hills. Scotland: right to roam :trophy:

Little upgrade…

Always wanted to keep a very basic level bike and pimp it up a little.

First Bike, I built myself. Very happy, how it turned out. :slightly_smiling_face:

I have a G2 T1550 - great looking C5A! Those new bars are :ok_hand::clap:

2924

I don’t have a strong positive reaction to much these days but those handlebars did it. @Memento’s photos are better than the stock website ones. Winspace should use these photos instead.

2925

Definitely. But only after he’s applied weed killer then power washed his driveway. Maybe a spray of Wet and Forget too.

Aside: I like the well wrapped and hidden SRAM blips (2 sets :dollar_banknote:)
