Trevor's Pivot Vault

Pivot Vault Carbon Bike Check

I wanted a lightweight and efficient gravel bike that I could get out and explore all day on. I liked that the seat tube was a large diameter so I could run a proper dropper post as an option in the future. The smaller diameter carbon post has a rubber sleeve around it which allows it to flex more and absorb vibrations which is nice on long rides. One cool thing I didn’t notice when reviewing the bike online was that most of the black parts on the frame are actually raw carbon, not paint. I really like the attention to detail in person. The stock build was exactly what I was looking for, so all I really had to do is experiment with different saddles, slap on some ancient Shimano SPD pedals, and build up some wheels.
