Specialized Aethos 52 cm frameset

Description: Pro level Frameset (not S-Works), FACT 10R carbon. Includes frame, fork, headset, Roval Alpinist seat post, two through axles and all original small parts. Immaculate condition; small blemishes near bottom of right fork leg. Note last two photos. Specialized calls this color "SATIN BLUE MURANO/CARBON/COBALT," but it's nearly black until it's in direct sunlight. Specialized's description: The Aethos frame has been designed with the perfect combination of ultimate ride feel, light weight, and style—from accelerating up steep pitches and descending technical descents, to all-day saddle comfort on even the longest coffee rides, the Aethos hits the mark. But how, you ask? By reinventing the traditional road shape found on bikes of the past, we’ve subtly altered these shapes to deliver massive gains in stiffness and balance, all without affecting weight or durability. Pair that with an entirely-new layup and process that we’ve perfected over multiple decades and you have the lightest frame out there (585 grams, S-Works, size 56cm). The Aethos is more than just a new bike, it’s the first of a new breed.A featherweight frame is useless without confidence-inspiring ride characteristics, which is why we’ve developed the Aethos to have the perfect balance of front and rear stiffness combined with exceptional ride quality. By studying the flexing and breathing of carbon fiber, we were able to discover groundbreaking findings about how forces flow through frames. Just a few pedal strokes and you’ll realize this sublime ride sets a new standard.Every detail, from the derailleur hangers to the fork expander plug have been designed with style, weight, and durability in mind. We’ve also spec’d it with Roval’s all-new Alpinist carbon seatpost. This has been the most agile and most comfortable bike I've ridden. (Except for the S-Works version of the Aethos.) When built up with Roval CLX 32 wheels and Sram Force Etap the bike weighed 15 pounds.
