Can a Pro Aero Bike Be Your Only Bike? I Tested It.

I built the Colnago Y1Rs completely differently than everyone else — here's the philosophy behind it and what I found after hundreds of miles in the saddle. Most Y1Rs builds try to match Tadej's spec down to the bolts. This one doesn't. In this video I walk through the full build philosophy, every spec decision, and my first impressions after weeks of real-world riding — from coastal climbs to mountain passes to long days in the saddle. Note: The Y1Rs frameset retails for $7,500 - the CC.Y01 cockpit is included in that price.
