Been eagerly waiting for this one for months. Thank you for including the weight. The 9 kilo range puts it as light (or lighter) than many carbon gravel bikes. The weight difference is marginal, as you say. Put a pair of Berd Sparrows on it with Ekar, and the perceived need for a carbon frame instantly evaporates. The Pave, Mason Exposure, or Prova Mostra Ti remains on my final dream gravel bike list. The reasonable weight may have convinced me to put the Pave at the top of that list. Unrelated: I am surprised Mondraker (Spanish brand) did not hit you up to reveal their new Arid gravel bike that was released a few weeks ago. Intriguing geometry - more slack so better for most US gravel races in the mountains (nice painting on the frames, as well). Perhaps they will get to you in the future if their brand catches on more in the U.S. They just opened up a US headquarters in Boulder, Colorado.
Hey Alex, I noticed the Spanish brand was in contact with some journalists who live near Boulder, easy publicity right there. We shall see if they reach out to me? As for the Pave, even though it is 1x specific and the drivetrain is currently limited to one cassette option at the moment, I will be sad to see this bike depart.
Great discussion of a beautiful bike! Gravel is all over the place, but let’s say race gravel 1 and adventure gravel 10. Where would this fall. I look at the geo, but can it be a long distance, comfortable “endurance” gravel bike? Tight hips so need to know!
That’s a premium machine… you are super fortunate mate! Lovely recyclable bike! Nothing like steel…
Lovely Bike, looks like another one for the collection.
Fully agree on the Tufos, running those the second year an like them a lot.

Excellent video thank you Sir
Gorgeous bike. Would love to hear some more about the ride quality or further comparisons with carbon.
Beautiful bikes. The Italians really know how to combine beauty with functionality! Also, I find the TUFO tires are an under valued gem!
Magnifique vélo 👏👏👍🇫🇷🚴🏻♂️

Thats beautiful, definitely in the "too nice to actually ride" category 😂
What an awesome bike; actually, this is more than just a bike.
Whenever I’m wearing sunglasses, II always remove them when I’m talking to someone, out of respect… Just saying, you do what you want.
Thanks for letting us know who “THAT” guy is.
I post a bike review, and this is your comment. I am talking to a camera. Your point is? I remove my glasses talking to another person.
@@GravelCyclist Don't mind the trolls Jom keep up the great work!
Thanks mate!
I have never heard that one.
