I have been thinking about buying the alu rlt 9 since I really liked an alu cross bike I borrowed for a 130km gravel ride. And it looks the part!
But my welder isn't capable of welding aluminium and I'm planning on doing quite a bit of customisation. Also really prefer not to have integrated headset cups.
No it has a so called "zero stack" headset. The bearing cups fall inside the headtube, but they aren't integrated (and they don't really have zero stack).
Black is very nice, also really like the green RLT 9 (alu).
