(I like the color of his better; the choices I had were Jet Focking Black and Gold. I'm tired of seeing black bikes, so I took the Gold. Lesser of two evils I guess, but I'm still so pleased with the way this thing rides)

His is the SRAM Rival - so not AXS. Also it’s the 11speed group.
I think they both set up about the same.
I bought an extra chain just in case - but with loosening the cage tension screw - works fine with stock chain length.
Actually happy that he stuck with cable vs wireless.
Last CX race of season last year (WI CX champs at trek HQ) he got knocked out in first lap f first race. Some knucklehead was “looking at his computer” and plowed into Alec’s rear drivetrain.
Mangled a wheel, derauiller and hanger. DNF. And didn’t have a way to fix before second race of the day. Arreghhh.
And the guy didn’t even have common courtesy to apologize.
I like your harvest gold paint scheme. I’ve always liked the unique colors.
Alec’s other choice was a very light gray (almost white) gloss. Also cool - but I like this color way a lot.
Many happy trails for you!
