Curious, what other grave bikes were on your shortlist before you decided on the Vault?
I basically had to get a bike that our shop sells, as it's a demo bike that I get to ride for a year, then we sell it. Our shop sells Trek, Yeti, and Pivot. Originally I was going to get a Checkpoint, but there are no models with carbon wheels or top tier component packages. I also thought about a Domane, but I wanted something that would accept a bigger tire. The Pivot Vault only has a couple of build kits that I know of, but I really dug the Sram Force AXS group and the Reynolds ATR wheels, so that's what I went with. I just took it on a big ride today. So far, I really like it!
