Not having thru axles, and hydraulic brakes is a deal breaker to me, I love my hydraulic brakes, have had 0 issues with them over the years and at least here in Brazil upgrading from mechanical do hydraulic on a drop bar bike is incredibly expensive. I like Trek, love my checkpoint ALR but this bike is weird to me and misses the mark. If it was basically a Steel checkpoint with a full GRX group i'd be interested as I love the ride feel of my steel bikes and love the Checkpoint.
