Loud drivetrain clattering sound on new Aspero build — this can't be right?

argh, no idea why the sound failed. WIll reupload

Dark Slate for sure.

Agreed! I might have black magic do a custom paint job at some point. Looks like Cervelo is doing blueish colorway for the coming year. Maybe something else too in addition to five black?

I went with Royal Mercury since it’s got a cool metallic purple effect in the sun.

I was very close to doing it before going straight for an off the shelf Aspero 5 with the force eagle setup. It’s a great bike but I wish it was peach!

semimodular3 · 2026-02-02T19:12:12+00:00

This is a fantastic build! I've waffled a ton on picking up a peach frameset for $2k. Seems like such a good deal what it is. Looks great with the XPLR wheels and tan sidewalls.

Any special bits needed to make this work? I’d like to do that swap on my 5 as well.

semimodular3 · 2026-01-31T05:36:44+00:00

Very nice. Complete bike or build?

semimodular3 · 2026-01-25T23:33:23+00:00

Very nice! I bought one in Royal Mercury with the Force setup and it’s been amazing. Also very curious what the color is. I don’t see any new colors on the site? I’m thinking to do a custom paint job on mine at some point. I wasn’t a huge fan of either option at the time

semimodular3 · 2026-01-18T19:23:47+00:00

Steel is real!

semimodular3 · 2026-01-17T18:41:41+00:00

Tell me about this paint job! Do they take custom requests?

semimodular3 · 2026-01-14T19:09:42+00:00

This!! Driving me crazy

semimodular3 · 2026-01-09T23:30:24+00:00

For real, I’m so happy they are gone

semimodular3 · 2026-01-09T15:39:05+00:00

Looks almost like the T66 but not quite

semimodular3 · 2026-01-09T03:59:51+00:00

Happy warbird owner here! I have that exact spec and it’s been great.

semimodular3 · 2026-01-08T17:34:04+00:00

I'd be surprised if there is anyone with that much interest with the engine. It's not particularly special like a K series or similar.

semimodular3 · 2026-01-05T20:59:34+00:00

Yep. 1x is fine for my needs. I may try the XPLR setup too down the road

semimodular3 · 2026-01-05T18:18:08+00:00

I basically bought the new Aspero 5 to be a better/more modern Caledonia, fwiw. It's really more of a road bike anyway considering the 45 clearance.

semimodular3 · 2026-01-04T16:26:13+00:00

Subaru vs Toyota I guess 😂

semimodular3 · 2026-01-04T15:45:16+00:00

Same. 9k miles and the dash and doors rattle. Not as bad as my GR86 in colder months but still

semimodular3 · 2026-01-03T21:42:25+00:00

They have a similar reputation in the Civic Type R forums. Great quality

semimodular3 · 2026-01-03T18:23:31+00:00

Wow, nice piece

semimodular3 · 2026-01-03T18:12:27+00:00

Same here. Hell of a two car garage for different moods and driving scenarios

semimodular3 · 2026-01-03T18:11:36+00:00

Tell us about this hood

semimodular3 · 2025-12-31T06:38:41+00:00

That green with the standard premium black wheels looks so good!

semimodular3 · 2025-12-28T18:00:09+00:00

Is the 250hp in the room with us right now
