Also, I predict that in the end, you will move a lot fewer parts to your road bike than planned, basically because I'm there right now with my Specialized Sequoia. I was just planning to get a Fairlight Faran frame, and move all components from the Sequoia frame to the Faran frame. But somehow I anyway managed to buy a new power meter, GRX front and rear derailleurs, GRX shifters, Hope RX4 calipers, and some other stuff, so whether I just did a frame swap or if I did more is kind of debatable. :)
@ridesofjapan
3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, it's not going to be a complete swap since the Open need to be ridable as well. Crank, STI Levers, are the main parts, Maybe brake calipers as well, a few of other light parts might need to be sold to fund other things... Wheels I obviously have an abundance off already :)

Love your passion. It’s infectious. Respect for what you have accomplished. We all know too well that gaining fitness in conjunction with losing unneeded body weight is the superior method for finding those lost grams. After so many years chasing the next carbon wonder bike, I sold them. All of them. Over a year ago I purchased a new 55cm Moots Routt RSL in ano root-beer graphics. Chris King headset in ano root-beer. Built with SRAM Red AXS Disk (10-33). For road I use my Enve 3.4AR Chris King in ano root-beer w/ceramic hubs (GK 700x32 slicks). For gravel I use my Enve G23 Chris King in ano root-beer ceramic (GK 700x38 SS+.) All in the Moots is a tick under 18lbs. It is...without doubt, Sublime smoothness, stiff and light. Something to be experienced with this setup. This bike translates any ride, short or long into a happy ride. Now a 1 bike garage and absolutely loving it. My Moots is a hand crafted heirloom quality Swiss Army knife of bikes. It sprints like Usain Bolt and motors the sweet spot Z3/Z4 seemingly all day, while climbing like a Polka Dotted champ. In my mind. 🤔 And best thing...it gets many compliments. It was getting same-o, same-o seeing a crowded carbon field of ever changing colors, shapes and “theoretic watt savings” based on wind tunnel science for the Pro’s, not us mere mortals, yet all riding basically the same machines of SWorks, Emondas, Propels, TCR's, Dogmas, etc, etc. All good out there my brothers and sisters. Ride what you ride. As long as you ride. Ride safe and ride often. Just my .2. Peace.

I do have a Specialized Roubaix Comp, which I bought in an end-of-season deal that made it a good buy for the price. It’s my favourite (at the moment!), but I didn’t buy the brand, I went for it purely because the spec and handling seemed good for the price asked. My apologies for stirring things up.
