The base is a Trek X1000 Cross series, where the only original part remaining is the aluminum frame, which weighs 1.8 kg and is very responsive. I normally use it to get around the city of Barcelona and for gravel road rides. What would you add or change to it?

Looks pretty dialed in. I would put in some Salmon rim brakes from Kool Stop.
Change all cables if not done already.
Maybe some nicer integrated lights.
If you feel the need to spend more, Maybe some lighter wheels and check out Blue Lugs international website. That always gives me inspiration ;)!
It already looks pretty perfect – I think I would swap the three quick releases for anti-theft skewers. And a brass bell is always good in the city. Top bike!
(and maybe the chain can be shortened by two links. But I’m not sure.)
I love the 700cx cranks: perfect for a simple but beautiful 1x setup!
Enjoy your “Trek”! 😁
I really like your bike, please show some more pictures! How do you change gears? It looks like Dura-Ace lever on a Paul?
