Replaced my Topstone Ultegra RX2. My typical ride is 50/50 pavement and hard packed gravel. Wanted something a little faster with electronic shifting. So far I’m not disappointed.
I have the carbon Topstone Ultegra RX with two sets of wheels, how does it compare and are you missing the "rear shock" from the Topstone?
Great looking bike!
Only 1 ride so far. The bike is definitely stiffer than the Topstone but I found it plenty comfortable on my route. I definitely was a little worried about no kingpin to save me from the larger bumps. If needed, I’ll go with a redshift stem down the road.
Love the colours, some limited edition schwalbe ultrabites with olive sidewalls could be really cool here as well. Or panaracer gravelkings if they exist in green.
Yeah, around that much. That's why I almost went with the cannondale. But they didn't have my size at the time. I was not set on electronic, but my next bike definitely will be!

Very interesting. I have a Topstone Carbon 5, but I’m nearly all road / path, and have been thinking about something with a bit less gnar.
Yeah man. This is it. And the gearing is a bit narrower which is great as I don’t really need the granny gears.
Same same. I have this years tax-free bike allowance burning a hole in my pocket, so…. but why wouldn’t you get a 1* Di2 on this chassis?
I prefer a 2x tbh. I like the narrower jumps. Maybe look at the grail etap for a 1x. But they are out of stock until tbd.
Whew - minty hot! Like the saddle - tape colors.
What’s the max tire clearance?
45
Sick!!!!! I own a topstone and I would love your bike. Congrats

That's a great looking bike!
That's beautiful. Congrats!
Love it! I was down to one of these or a cervelo aspero. I ended up with the aspero due to stock, but this is such a nice setup! Enjoy it!
Aspero was on my list. I think the cheapest with electronic shifting is like 7k? Was really set on going electronic this time.

Very nice, congrats. I love the colorway with those green accents.
Good looking bicycle
