After about 12 years riding an alu framed – mechanical (sora) road bike, I treated myself after a promotion/small windfall. I haven't got the budget to stretch into the n+1 rule so I tried my hardest to find a do-as-much-as-it-can bike. Mostly triathlons, solo training rides and commuting to work with a very rare group ride.
Yeah an aero bike may not be the best in terms of efficiency/geometry, but the gear groove aero extensions, the colour, the complete package just had me hooked.
First carbon anything, First electronic groupset. The difference I feel in effort to speed is amazing. I also realised I had been riding a much bigger bike than I should, sized into a XS as a 172cm tall guy and immediately felt way more comfortable.
Re-wrapped the bars myself in supacaz coffee, trying to find a better saddle for me in brown to tie the look in together, and to hide 'the stains' from dealing with typical Aussie drivers.
There are many like it, but this one is mine. Just wanted to share!

Aero bike is absolutely the best in terms of efficiency. It means you can get into an aero position easier and push let’s watts!
Beauty bike! I love my aeroad 😀 the only change I’ve made was to upgrade my crank to the red dual side power meter. The rival crank is totally fine but I was looking to shed some weight and add some stiffness for racing.
Enjoy the bike, it’s a beast!
Nice. Do you please have a link for the top tube bag?
