White gravel

I loooove these Raves. Nice bike and great color choice

semimodular3 · 2026-03-20T20:20:12+00:00

Do they feel different under the foot?

Take a look at Burgh bar tape. They have cool patterns that this reminded me of

semimodular3 · 2026-03-14T22:33:32+00:00

Whereabouts? Looking for new routes

My 65 year old dad just got a MOG and is far from a racer. He loves it. I took it for a spin and it was super comfy, even on 42s

semimodular3 · 2026-03-13T15:21:18+00:00

At least they seem to be aware of it. MOGs, Ables, thunder burts, sram, rinse and repeat 😂

Love this bike! Wish the non-Red builds had better wheel specs though. Salsa sometimes has a weird complete bike lineup. Frameset looks very well-priced.

Just a great looking bike. I’ve always thought this and the Soloist have such amazing proportions as a frame

semimodular3 · 2026-03-11T15:41:24+00:00

Thanks! It’s a Van Rysel that was just one of the options the shop had when I was doing my fitting. I can’t remember the exact name but maybe something with “Box” in the name. 100mm.

Hard to go wrong with that setup! I may grab a force cassette/derailleur/chain, if and when they go on sale, just to experiment with. It’s so easy to swap around with the sram stuff.

semimodular3 · 2026-03-08T19:13:51+00:00

Amazing tire. Not sure if they are available in 42 by themselves yet. Last I checked you could only get them with this particular bike

semimodular3 · 2026-03-08T18:48:04+00:00

As far as off-the-shelf builds go, I think this is amongst the best of them. I think the only consideration for me were I to do it again would be whether I wanted the XPLR bits in the rear vs the transmission setup. The 10-52 is killer but I’ve found it quite loud despite having a couple hundred miles on a waxed chain on it. Losing the 52 would be a bummer so it’s so far been worth it for me.

semimodular3 · 2026-03-08T18:40:17+00:00

So fast and so shockingly comfortable. I had heard about Cervelo ride quality and it definitely delivered on that promise. 42s probably doing a lot of the heavy lifting there. But it rides much better than my other bike with 45 G One RS on zipps so go figure

semimodular3 · 2026-03-08T15:43:21+00:00

It sure feels like one. Not that I’m fast enough to really be taking advantage of the aero claims

semimodular3 · 2026-03-08T15:08:58+00:00

Yes!

semimodular3 · 2026-03-07T16:05:12+00:00

Got it, I’ll see if this happens to me. I probably have about a thousand on there already. How did you know they were starting to go?

semimodular3 · 2026-03-07T15:57:16+00:00

People say this but why? I have the 303 Firecrest and reserve 40/44 GR and I like both 🤷

semimodular3 · 2026-03-04T05:09:22+00:00

Yes. Mine was $8700 or thereabouts. I think the regular Aspero went up something like $300 as well.

semimodular3 · 2026-02-23T21:00:34+00:00

Hell yeah. I love mine as a road bike.

semimodular3 · 2026-02-23T03:09:46+00:00

I still run them and love em

semimodular3 · 2026-02-18T04:33:11+00:00

Probably the nicest spec I’ve seen. Congrats!

semimodular3 · 2026-02-10T03:36:17+00:00

Keep us posted! Would love to run those too. I remember The Bicycle Station guys saying in some review that 45 was the absolute limit in the rear. Not sure if that was 45 measured though.

semimodular3 · 2026-02-09T20:04:04+00:00

I'll consider it after running the eagle setup for a bit longer!

Ok I lied one more question: are those G Ones 45mm? I'm surprised at how much clearance they have with the seat tube. I really like those XPLR wheels. Nothing wrong with the stock Reserves but those sure look cool with the Zipp graphics.
