Pretty much bone stock 2015 Rival hydro model except for the swap to the Toupe and Clement MXPs/Challenge latex tubes. Haven't even weighed it, but I'd guess somewhere in the 17s or 18s.

Could easily drop a ton of weight by ditching the boat anchor wheels and cockpit stuff, but that'll probably wait until the off season. My plan is to use this as a gravel/adventure bike as well, so I'll be sticking with clinchers. Hoping to build up either DT240 or White Ind. centerlocks on HED Belgium Plus rims.

After the gulf blue/orange Giant TCX, this is my favourite colourway I've seen on a cross bike. Actually most bikes. Too bad the rest of the 'dales don't look as great.

Thanks. I also think the TCX Advance is the cleanest looking CX bike around right now.

I'm fortunate to have Cannondale as a club sponsor and the SuperX actually brings me around full circle: my first road bike was a blue CAAD7 and I've always loved the quad-wrapped DT logos.

just bought a 2014 Giant TCX Advanced 1 as well... it's super light at the moment. :lol: it is by far the best colorway i've seen on any bike though.

will be building it up with Sram Red, TRP Spyres, 3T cockpit and carbon wheels... cant wait.
