One of the nicest Colossal builds I've seen. Great selections.

thanks! I still have to find a colossal as sexy as mine :D. I guess most Colossal riders buy the standard build.

Any idea what it weighs? I'm not a weight weenie, but I'm thinking of building one of these up as a "light bike" alternative to my Salsa Vaya and I'm wondering if it will actually be that much lighter.

I have really no idea.. i don't really care either, it's just an awesome ride, wouldn't change anything (although i'm switching to tubeless because i have A LOT of flats on those vittorias)

Awesome bike! What saddlebag is that and are you happy with the tubeless gravelkings?

That’s just a lezyne waterproof bag tied down with tie wraps.
The Gravel Kings tubeless didn’t hold up for long. I think I flatted them after 500km and used them with a inner tube after that. They’re clearly not made to use tubeless, because my Schwalbe Pro ones where holding up way longer.
