I’ve put 153 miles on it so far. Wasn’t sure how to feel about the green GravelKings at first but I really like the overall aesthetic now. I swapped the accessories over from my Four Corners (Raceface Chesters, AssSavers Win Wing 2 and Mudder Mini, Lezyne Power Cage, Oveja Negra top tube bag, Donut Sack Jelly Roll and Dunk Tank, Swift Zeitgeist, Wahoo ELEMENT Bolt V2, and Niterider 450). I didn’t think the Zeitgeist in Redwood would look good on it but with the dark green frame, light green tires, Safety Pizza, and red handlebar bag, it’s really giving some TMNT vibes.
Overall, I like the bike. I paid $730 for the bike, including the tires and having the shop set it up tubeless. The brakes suck, and I had to buy some cheap pads off of Amazon because the front one was annoying loud. My first upgrade will be to either TRP Spyre or the Juintech hybrids. I am actually a big TRP Spyre/Spyke fan and have had them on a few other bikes with no complaints.
Eventually, I would like to get Sword crankset and maybe the Sword levers to have the better shift cable routing. Who knows. I never keep a bike for very long. I really prefer a flat bar bike and have really been considering a Preamble.

I have the same bike, any idea what the braze one on the back are for? I assume a rack, but I haven’t seen a rack with that mounting option.
