NOT a replacement for my AWOL.
But I did take it out for one of my lunchtime gravel loops, and it was just great. Its going to be my dirt road capable town bike. Late '90s (?) Specialized Crossroads purchased used and updated by me.

Here's my Motobecane Fantom Titanium . I don't race cross but with a wheel/tire change it does double duty on road and gravel.

Rebuilt an old cross bike from gravel. Di2 seems to work with an 11-32 cassette; I did add the Wolf Tooth Road Link to feel a bit more comfortable and it shifts awesome. Also just installed G-One 35mm and it looks like that may be as wide as I can go. I might order some cheap 38mm tires just to see.

Decided the Tsunami was never going to have the fit I need, nor the comfort. Picked up this Giant TCX SX last night. Should get a proper ride this weekend but so far it feels awesome.

Well that was embarrassing. I really like how they show up just fine for me when I'm logged in. Hopefully they will show up now. Old bike - new bike

The cassette is 11-42, I believe it is Sram 1130 level. There is some noise coming up when on the 42, I didn't get a chance to look at it before running to work. My guess is either the chain guide needs alignment or the B screw needs to go in.
Overall this bike is awesome. Feels solid out of the saddle and so smooth going down gravel.
I did notice when I took off the dork disk that there is a cassette spacer, like when 11 speed came out for 10 speed cassettes. I haven't paid too close attention to new stuff lately but my guess would be 12 speed road groups coming. I have seen Sram has it for mountain but my understanding is it uses a very different freehub.

Keep it up and your name will be on the letterhead before you know it.
As we say in The South, that's a big'n. A couple of guys here are going to have an emotional meltdown when they read that.

It looks a little off on a bike with drop bars, but with only a 40 chainring up front it works well. I was even bouncing around the idea of putting a 38 on it to try the Crusher in the Tushar next year. That ride has 10,000 ft of climbing in under 70 miles.
