Took the Aspero out for a short ride today. First impression is holy **** this thing is stuff and fast. With road wheels on, it is every bit as snappy and responsive as the R3. It was windy, so the speed was low for the effort, but man.. what a joy to ride.

There most be something off with my torque wrench, I torqued the bars to what I thought was spec and at the end of my ride they spun down on me- top bolts were tight but the bottom was loose. Luckily my amazing bike skills prevented me from eating it.

Fun story about picking it up yesterday. I picked the bike up in Goshen- about 2 hours from my house. Left at 7:30 and brought pedals, shoes and bibs so I could get everything right before bringing it home. After taking care of everything and putting the bike and all 4 wheels in the car, I took off without grabbing my bag of shoes, bibs and some other stuff. Was 30 minutes from home before I realized and had to go back.

Going to try out the gravel wheels tomorrow.

picture in the wild- when the sun hits the paint it’s amazing.
