Got one of these Co-Op ADV 2.3’s in large during the summer sale for like 1450, put about ~1000ish miles on it since then about 60/40 road/gravel, and it’s honestly an amazing starting point for the price you can get it for.
Got some GRX alloy wheels on sale for these to replace the WTB wheels that come with them (those things are unnecessarily heavy), Shortened the crankset to 170mm since the cranksets that come with the bike are way too long for the size they’re advertising for. I swapped the flat pedals to clipless m520’s, and ended up switching from a permanently mounted rear rack to an ortlieb quick rack so I can quickly go from commuting to group rides.
I read around that the paint on the 2.3 had a habit of chipping in certain places, so ive added some dyedbros protection film in the rear triangle, fork, downtube and toptube. After that I havent had any issues with serious paint damage from rock chips and other stuff.

Looks great! I love the color. What size tires are you running? What is the max width the frame will take?
Edit: I zoomed in to see they are 40s

Nice! I just picked one up and so far so good. Conversion to tubeless was pretty easy too.
