Cervelo Aspero Frameset Sea Ice, 61

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""The Aspero is one of my favorite platforms for riders who want road-bike sharpness on mixed terrain. It feels fast and efficient when you're hammering, but the geometry adds the stability you want when things get loose. The TrailMixer dropout adjustment is super useful for tuning handling between 700c and 650b wheels, and the frame has all the mounts you need without overdoing it. It’s a perfect starting point for a gravel race build.""We turn to the Cervelo Aspero Frameset when we're building a gravel machine that refuses to compromise on speed. Born from Cervelo’s road heritage, the Aspero carries that same crisp handling into rougher terrain, pairing race-focused geometry with the compliance and tire clearance needed for long, fast miles. A slimmed downtube helps absorb chatter from washboards and rocky connectors, while the lower standover height boosts confidence when remounting on techy race courses or stop-and-go adventure routes. Cervelo’s TrailMixer dropout system lets us fine-tune handling for either 700c or 650b wheels, adjusting trail characteristics to match the style of riding or terrain ahead. Plenty of mounting options accommodate long-distance setups—whether that’s stacking bottles for hydration or adding a top-tube bag for gels and tools. With a responsive all-carbon build and dropper compatibility through a round 27. 2mm post, the Aspero frameset gives us the freedom to tailor every component to our riding style while keeping the backbone of the bike fast, capable, and adventure-ready. Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help."
