For 2025 I decided to retire my Carbonda 696 and move all my kit to my previously single speed BXT 135 frameset. Not a bad swap and I lost half a pound in the process. Just a hair over 20lbs for the full bike as pictured.

Frameset: BXT Gravel 135 (56cm)
Wheels: Elite wheels carbon 700c gravel wheelset
Tires: Specialized Pathfinder Pro 47c
Bars: Lauf Smoothie 44cm
Stem: Ritchey WCS 100mm
Drivetrain:
Sram Force AXS levers and calipers
GX AXS Rear derailleur
X01 or XX1 cassette ( I cannot remember, I just know its not the GX one)
Force GXP 170mm crankset w/ bsa EBB. (Allowed for the single speed setup on a thru axle frame, will maybe get swapped for a standard BB for the weight difference)
Saddle: Specialized Power Mirror

This is likely not a forever frame. I have my sights set on a Enve Mog or Rodeo Traildonkey later this year. Also this is not something I went balls to the wall on my credit card in one day. (If you are curious about the parts that were selected that is) I slowly built up my parts over time and now the frame needs updating I feel.

As a note I am 6 foot with just under a 32" inseam. The bike fits great in its current configuration.

I decided to make a post because there has been a handful of people asking about the frame and I thought it might be helpful to see my build.
