Blue Prosecco AL?
Anybody have/ride one?

The XL seems like it would fit me and it seems like a decent value but I haven't found much in the way of reviews.

Nice looking bike, so many out there,
You should be able to find several in that price range with that equipment but In well known and reviewed makes I would think.

I've owned a Blue -- great frame, rode great. Wasn't the Prosecco, but as far as the brand goes, I'd endorse (fwiw). Good rep in TT circles too...

Yeah, definitely a brand I've never heard of (except in TT/Tri circles it seems). I've seen them for < $1k. Competitive with the Raleigh Willard (alu) and Marin Nicasio (steel) but has the most stack of all of them. No thru-axles and the cassette and rear derailleur (and chain) would need to be swapped out to run an 11-36 or greater cassette. Not a lot of great options for the tall (194cm) gravel rider.

Are they race-able (CX)?
How about the prosecco ex di2?
Other than the sloping top tube being harder to shoulder, which is less of an issue in the larger sizes >58... will the needle thin seat stays assplode? Are the wheels going to hold up to the pounding?

Diamondback Haanjo Comp in XL might work. I think the stack is 62 or 63cm.
And Ill always plug the Black Mountain Cycles Monstercross frameset. I built it up for $1150ish with a 105 drivetrain, Gevenalle shifters, and misc remaining parts.

Now all sizes are $626 and you get a choice of a free set of CX tires. I just realized I have a coupon for 10% off and it works. $564.05. I don't need if but if the headtube wasn't twenty feet tall I might get one.
