The more I look at it the more I like it.
725, Di2 ready, full carbon fork, Progressive geometry (liking those reach measurements a lot), Good future proofing, 3 year warranty.
The Apex1 model comes with Horizons on Aksiums as standard for £1350. Hell yeah?
Selling the components will save you back a lot! Groupset alone is what? £350 minimum? Wheels will go pretty sharpish as well! That's 50% more or less saved?

You'd likey get about that for new Apex1, 3rd party chainset a bit annoying but yeah.
This gets my inner child quite excited but the steel is also growing on me or the Al. tbh they all seem great in their own way.

Don't need the wheels, maybe £120, groupset easily £150, brakes, let says £60 for a pair, tyres maybe £20 each (bear in mind we can't exactly sell it for retail), already it's cheaper than the frameset.
I like it cause it's colourway vaguely remind me of the Niner;

Perfect.
Time to swap the Arkose for this, the Hope hubs I got make it easier to swap axle to 12mm, the extra bottle cages mount, 72 degrees head angle (arkose is 71.5), steel frames and actually look pretty good on top.
Their bike builder incidated a 650b version of the Mavic Akisum too.
Reckon I can just sell the entire components and fit the Arkose part on it easily.
