The bike itself is a work of art. I have owned several different gravel bikes and I've never felt as comfortable and confident so quickly as I did on this bike. It has sharp, confident handling like a road bike, but can handle the trails as well as any rigid gravel bike I've ridden. It has that amazing distinctive Pinarello panache. The two areas I'd have preferred something different were the cassette/rear derailleur which didn't have the range I need for steep climbs, so swapped out to an AXS Eagle derailleur and MTB-range cassette. The wheelset is a great wheelset but I prefer riding lighter carbon wheels so those came off as soon as I got the bike.
