Really considering getting this bike. It was between the Salsa Cutthroat, Checkpoint ALR 5 AXS, and the other one my shop suggested was the Lauf Seigla. However, this bike was love at first sight. Looking for something for gravel races and long rides.

That bike should be discounted since AC is being discontinued. It’s as fast as you are. It’s a good all-rounder.
I got that bike at the start of summer for 2500. It’s a great bike.
I’d recognize Vecchio’s anywhere
That’s such a great color scheme.
I wanted one of these so bad. Almost bought the frameset, but the pandemic hit. Settled on a Surly
I will say, after test riding one for an hour, I was in love. It rides like titanium. I still dream of owning one
I owned one of the older models. Here’s what it was: a fast, smooth gravel bike that excelled in long rides on dirt, in mostly a straight line.
What it wasn’t: a road bike (wasn’t twitchy or snappy to accelerate), or a good gravel bike for single track like the evil chamois hagar (again, handling was more stable and long).
Overall I thought it was a really great ride quality.
