All good mang. I get that gum wall tires aren't everyone's thing. Everyone has their own tastes or preferences. May not be everyone's favorite bike, but I know that its a top shelf machine and the majority of people love it. But as I said, I know everyone has their own thoughts.

cheers!

It's fine, pretty basic but nothing wrong with it. However there is not too much on the bike, crank arms, seat post and bars. Chain rings are Praxis works, full Ultegra group. I changed out the stem and wheelset. Here are a couple updates with some seat, bar tweaks and new wheel set. 3T Accelero 40 with GP4000 s2 25c tires.

GP4000IIs with the natural color sidewalls might look better, but I haven't seen them in person since the 90's. I loved the dark brown color back then, but I'm not sure if the new ones are the same color.

It's hot. No doubt. But the tires. Enve/Mavic request black tires.

Enve is not owned by Mavic, but both are owned by the same company.

Ray Bans and Oakley are owned by the same company(Luxotica) but both operate separately.

Maybe we should start a new thread "But it's Comfortable!" where people show off such bikes.

I'm sure they'll operate entirely separately, especially as their joint US HQ is being built in Utah.

So I guess ENVE now controls Mavic.

Maybe it's cheaper for Mavic to operate in Utah.

Super steep seat tube with not too much drop and reach is not something that requires a lot of flexibility.

Fun snobby bike nerd conversation...do you think Mavic, a more mainstream company, available on the discount sites, cheapens the ENVE "boutique-ish" smaller mom/pop brand?

I think it works both ways. Enve's esoteric "boutique-ness" softens the more professionally serious Mavic brand; the combination is sort of flakey.
