I’ve just got one of these, still building it. How do you like it?
I considered a carbon bar/ stem but whilst the difference on a road bike with narrow tyres is maybe worth it,(I have two with full carbon cockpits and it reduces buzz a bit), I couldn’t see the point for gravel. My rationale..
No point chasing marginal weight reductions on a heavier set up
Big tyres make more of a difference to comfort
Planning a Redshift ‘suspension’ stem and double wrapping the bars anyway, which have far more impact.

Also swapped out Orro’s stock saddle for a Selle Italia Flyte Gravel, which is great.
