First: I would buy it again. Overall happy with it. I just missing some more enjoyment.
But I owned soo many expensive big brand bikes that gave me a good feel of how a ride can be. Some of the bikes performed better others less.
I will now playing with different tires and the contact points.
Again it’s a great product and I am looking forward for the new Gravel frame to replace my Trek Checkmate…an other expensive bike that I not really like to ride.

I have to disagree with you. Compare to my Specialized Crux that is longer and slacker it’s not that fun to ride. And I had the same wheels/ tires on it.

After an easy build up I did 3 rides. 160km and 3000m climbing combined. Happy with the bike but not the best I ever owned. Doesn’t feel lively and playful.
It’s a size 56 in raw carbon glossy. 360/110 handlebar.
Mounted parts lying around.
Elite 50D Wheels with GP 5000 32C and TPU tubes.
SRAM RED XPLR 13 speed.
Garbaruk oval 48t on RED power crank with Look pedals. SRAM bottom bracket.
Old SRAM Force brakes and levers.
AliExpress carbon saddle.
Weight with pedals 7,1kg.

I experienced no seatpost slipping even without carbon paste. Also no problems with tightening the saddle like other people mentioned here.
But I had to secure the screw from the down tube compartment with strong loctite.

Finally arrived! Everything well packed and in good condition. Ordered last November. Jim was my contact person. He did a good job and answered all my questions. Tomorrow I will start the building and hopefully finish it.
