I just picked this up last night. The guy I bought it from said he found it at a goodwill for 50% off. Its mostly original aside from the cockpit. The stem, bars, and shifters are aftermarket. The teeth on the chainring show almost no wear.
Overall, its in really good shape and fits me well. Its really fun to ride. Kinda zippy feeling.
I’ll clean and refurb the drivetrain, get drops and bar end shifters on it. Maybe repaint and get new decals on it. And that’ll be about it!

One of 500 made.
Still running on the original wheel bearings bottom bracket and headset.
Do not paint that bike. A good clean and polish does wonders.
These and the XO-1 were the proto gravel bikes.
