have a 56cm Aethos Expert w/ a couple of upgrades, taking it almost to the Aethos Pro level. The stock bike came with SRAM Rival shifters/brakes, front and rear derailleur, and a 172.5 mm Rival crankset (the one w/ the powermeter in the spindle). Specialized describes the color as Satin Metallic Deep Lake. It’s blue (ish).
I swapped out the stock cranks for 165 mm SRAM Force carbon fiber cranks with 35/48 rings, swapped out both the Rival derailleurs for Force derailleurs, and swapped the stock tires for Conti 5000 S TR, 28mm, set up tubeless.
I purchased the bike directly from Specialized in July of '24 and according to the data in my TrainingPeaks files, I’ve ridden it a whopping 30 times over 14 months for a total of 1268 miles. I’ve done almost all my riding over the last couple of years on my gravel bike.
Asking $4000 as described, or $4400 including an AXS Red/Force powermeter. I can ship at buyer’s expense, or can deliver within a few hours of Albuquerque or anywhere from the Tucson to Denver corridor
As an option, if someone wants a powermeter but doesn’t want to be limited to the SRAM chainring options, I also have a Quarq 5 bolt, 110 BCD powermeter that I could include in lieu of the AXS powermeter. Eagle eyed viewers might have noticed that this is what’s on the bike in the picture. As it sits, the rings are 34/48 as opposed to the 35/48 SRAM 4 bolt setup.
