nice build, especially like the colorway.

one question, why the -20 stem with all the spacers?

Those aren't spacers, that's the headshock spring.

How do you like the "headshok"?

Bike is pure porn!

TimmS: Like the futureshock, tried it on a couple of bikes before too so ain't the first one.

[tonytourist]

Why aren't you running the Triggers tubeless?
Cool bike, it would look so much better without the future shock, but I like the paint!

tonytourist: That was the plan but the plugs are leaking in the rim so have to change them but didn't took my time to do it.

Got my 2019 S-Works frame and building it up now! 1850g with frame + fork +bottom bracket and all bits attached. Seems like the frame is 900g, fork is 450g, bottom brakcet is 100g, and futureshock is 350g? About there anyway.

Sick Diverge. Have same color and love it.

I hope they ride well. That headshock and seatpost - hate it. Surely there must be a way for Specialized to create a gravel bike that is a decent ride without those awful features. But then it might be a harder sell with nothing for the salespeople to point at.

Specialized have another gravel model, it is in steel and is called the Sequoia

Have you ridden one on gravel? What’s wrong with suspension?

[sychen]

Nothing wrong with suspension.. Do you need it on gravel no.. Is it nice to have yes..

I suspect most peoples issues is they(specialized) look fugly..
Trek solution is much more elegant... No one complains about that.
