No, 1X is not a fail. Not everyone feels the need to go everywhere at top speed. It’s simple and reliable.

No typo. The frame and fork cost $2400, plus the added cost of the build kit. If you choose the GRX 610 ($2400), the whole bike would cost $4800.

That’s gotta be a typo: the frameset alone with the carbon fork is $2,400. The MSRP on that wheelset is $1,550.

Doesn’t look like a plate. 3D printed?

If you don’t like the 1x spec, you can build up the frameset with a 2x drivetrain. Where is the problem? Also I don’t understand the correlation between 1x, slow and washed up.

Slow, washed up riders only. Shame. Nice looking bike otherwise.
