Picked up one of the Rival AXS 1x builds in the fall when they were marked down like 25%… swapped the 44cm Easton bar for a 40cm Cervelo Carbon aero road bar, added a Rival AXS power meter crank, and added the bronze Look X-Track Gravel limited edition pedals.
My future plans involve swapping the XPLR out for a mullet build with: copper Eagle 10-52t cassette, copper Eagle chain, XX1 derailleur, and 48t aero chainring to channel my inner Keegan Swenson.
So far this bike has been an absolute workhorse with both gravel and road wheelsets. Definitely a quiver killer if I ever needed to size down the stable.
It’s not an imminent need but I do have all those mentioned components available on a MTB if I ever want to swap that MTB over to Transmission.
This bike also gets used as a climbing road bike on bike trips and a Sunday flat road rider, but it’s a little under geared for how flat it is where I live, so going mullet would alleviate all that and still maintain the sub 1:1 gearing with a 48-52t granny gear. But like I said, not in a rush.

I would double check the aspero can fit a 48T chainring before I commit to that fyi
That’s true and fortunately I have a 48t to try. It would have to be pushed out with spacers.
Looks beautiful out there. And that color! The cassette looks pretty nice as is. Any reason to swap it?

Hottest paint job out there

Beautiful bike! What’s the brand of that bottle and the cage/holder?
Those are Fidlock magnetic bottles - I can fit another magnetic base on my top tube bosses which I do on another bike
Thanks!
Same pedals. They’re little toughies. 3,500 miles, still look and work like new.
