Bontrager xxx saddle. So far so good. Nice flex to it and not as slippery as I thought it would be. Came in at 69g

Lighter than a Berk! What's the cost like?

That's sweet. Rule 5 compliant, for sure. Show your whole rig!

Some would think it is a fancy dynamo....🤪🤪

Keen to see your review!
The review from DC rainmaker was quite good actually. Except for the pricing....

I'll do a write up in a few weeks but if the first hour was anything to go by... And this was only on setting 1. I've never had to hold that kind of power to do 31km/h with 245m of rolling elevation. Image

Comments about the price make me laugh tho, Kickr is comparable in price and how many users on here run EE brakes or Enve wheels?....

Alba Optics Delta BLK MR Gold - feel snug and light, will see how they perform. If on par with the best, will get some more nice colored frames...

The Trek is 138 mm wide with OS rails. No commentary on the weight limit. Trek's site says $380 US.

Looks good, but I can't see this replacing my Berk.
My unpadded Lupina is 150mm wide, OS rails, 12K top carbon, 74 gm and cost a lot less than the Trek...
