The journey to this bike began about a year ago, when I resuscitated my Indy Fab, which I just didn't ride all that much. But I cleaned off the cobwebs and enjoyed the experience. This past winter I had the idea to update that bike from Shimano DA 9000 (which went onto another bike) with GRX 1x11 (now I wish I had gotten the 1x12......) and get some new wheels.
I ordered some Boyd CCC aluminum wheels and the groupset and liked the result, but I was still ready for more change.
Specialized announced the Crux DSW and the price seemed 'reasonable' so I ordered one and built it up over the past month or so. This is the result. I've had it out on a few local trail rides here in Chicagoland and I'll be taking it to Michigan this weekend for a real gravel initiation. So far, so good.
This is why my Indy Fab was sold. Obligatory garage door pics.
