Beautiful! Which Nytro is it again?

More aero than my Vado SL 1 5.0 EQ and ~3 lb lighter with roughly 25% more power and torque, but otherwise somewhat similar externally. Eager to hear how it rides.

It is the Nytro E5 Allroad - Shimano Deore. It is based on the Grevil E5 gravel frame. I won't be riding it significantly anytime soon as I just got inundated with race work.

Yikes, very spiffy new bike and no time to ride it! Sheer torture.

Looks great! I guess the remote is an add on? Does it wire to the drive unit or to the controller on the top tube?

The chainring looks like maybe a 38? I get the feeling that might be a little small for your riding conditions and style...

Weight seems pretty good considering the frame/fork are the only carbon components. Lots of flexibility if you decide to go weight weenie on it later on.

The remote is a TQ option, as you can do everything from the display on the top tube. It connects directly to a port on the display, and is wired. This is one place where Bosch is ahead of TQ, as the Bosch mini remote is Bluetooth.

The chainring is a 38, and I knew that before purchase. If I run out of cassette, the chainring is an FSA Megatooth. There looks to be room for at least a 44T. I'll have to check QBP as they are the US dealer portal for TQ. I'm planning on going Di2 at some point.

Like all zealots, weight weenies need no rational justification for the $$$/gram they spend.

With this kind of topography, they'd really only be chasing more nimble handling. But there's definitely something to be said for a nimble bike.

It's not even hilly by any stretch, but it is rolling. When you get out to the Outer Cape, you're riding over dunes.

Thanks. I'm OK with it for now.

The picture is deceptive. The fenders attach to the frame via the rack at the rear, the seat stays at the "brake bridge", and at the bottom of the seat tube near the bottom bracket. The fenders and rack are SKS. The rack is aluminum and the fenders are that SKS plastic/aluminum sandwich material.

The tires are Vittoria Radonneur 700x40. I'm with ya with the reflective sidewalls, but most city bikes come with them. The flash lit them up, so they are not as garish as they look, but my next pair will probably be blackwall.

So, tell me if I've got this right, Chris… The forward-facing part of the rack is attached to the fender through some sort of plastic grommet (on the fender), and the fender itself is secured at the brake bridge and down by the bottom bracket.

Probably won’t use the rack much, right? That just doesn’t seem like a great way to anchor it. Only because the fender is not metal. Just my thoughts.

Fair enough on the tires.

The bike looks really cool. Good luck!!!

The rack is attached to the frame with four bolts, two at the brake bridge and two on the end of the seat stays. The rack is solid and a structural extension of the frame. The fender is attached to the rack at three places. The fenders have metal inside.
