NBD was end of January and where the later pictures are from but I’ve been waiting for a better backdrop for the drive side view and a ride at dusk last week finally delivered.
This is my titanium rebuild of Giant’s Revolt X in 57,5cm (M/L by their sizing), frame built by Waltly Titanium with a nice anodized amber snake design done by a friend of mine.
Components are a mix of XX Transmission and Red XPLR, AXS Reverb (LBS told me there’s no good way to route a dropper cable around the BB without a hideous bypass), Rudy Ultimate, Elitewheels Drive G45s with 45mm Cinturato RCs. 614 Saddle and 314 Bars by SQLabs, 100mm chunky FSA stem to match the headtube. Pedals are Crankbrothers Mallet DH color matched to my old Revolt X (2023 green), I’ll try to sell them with the bike and find a better color for a new pair. Lights are from Sigma, I would’ve taken them off but I still needed to get off this hill in the dark after.
I’ve put a 44T chainring on here and beaten it up a 19% grade in a field right before I took the picture which is the worst I could realistically find in my area.
Frame weight (double butted) came in at 1870g, bike with heavy pedals, cages and mount (no bottles or headunit) is almost exactly 11kg which isn’t lightweight but I’m too heavy to be a weight weeny about it. Total cost of the bike including buildup at the LBS was a bit over 9k€

The saddle angle and hood position are fuckin wild.
I mean this in the nicest possible way, but your bike is proof that you can throw the highest-end most expensive parts on a bike and it still has the potential to just look off.
Really cool looking print on the frame
