Nice build!

One of our scales is lying....my build is similar.  Full XTR, Sid ultimate fork/shock, light wheels, light brakes, light tires and I'm just under 25lbs.  Large frame.

Nice build, but you definitely should move the back light to some other place rather than keeping it on your dropper's stanchion.

Awesome color! Are you using inner tube in your front tire? And if no, how does non-TR tire holds pressure?

No tube, just a liberal amount of Stans. Holds pressure fine.

Didn't you have the plan to replace your 505 with a new one...?
Also Gravel bikes look awesome in raw carbon .. 8)

I think ssparks and me even decided for the same decal color style. Only for the fork i went with rockshox in black with silver decals.  ;D

Mine are the diy route using my kids’ Cricut machine. Pretty entertaining to just download cool fonts and just create a totally new style and theme for the bike using different sticker vinyl colors.

Complete. First ride and video coming soon (eventually).

I’m very impressed so far.
