In Portugal you can get it for 4750e if you buy a full bike. Vat taxes for full bikes went from 23% to 6%. Big discounts happening here.

Quick update, I've now put about 300km on to my Melee and generally all is great...
- the bike still feels really quick
- handling is good, although I want to change tyres from the Enve, probably Vittoria next..
- it climbs and descends really well.. and smooth on longer rides...
- I've had no issues with seat post slipping... and I'm no lightweight..
- Really enjoying using 1x and classified system (no chain drops here)

Minor Issues;
- Seem to be getting some creaking from the rear deraullieur hanger under load... trying to nail down with LBS what's causing it... but no real issues..

Could be talking about the Enve one-piece cockpit. Unobtanium for us regular folks, but also definitely not new.

Yeah, on IG.
That's not the integrated bar almeida was using in the Giro. And it is not the stem and handlebar combo pogacar used in the classics.

Edit: can't find it now... I should have printed the screen to keep that image. It was a post of him and the team in the training camp, his girlfriend. And the bars were really not the same as almeida used.

Tadej had been using the enve aero for awhile.. even in the classics. The rest of the team is on integrated.

I know Enve made a post about it a number of months ago.. towards the end of UAE tour or soon afterwards

dropping in with my melee
had it for about 3 weeks now. build it with campy Ekar and campy WTO wheels

Dist that bring in the bike said i am the only one with campy 1x that he saw
size 54,
Detail as follow
40cm bar with 100mm stem and 30cm spacer ( the new stem is very heavy)
Non setback seatpost 350mm
Ekar 170mm 40t crank
Ekar 9/36 cassette
Campy WTO 33
Pirelli cinturato velo tyres, ( heavy as hell)
Favero powermeter ,
Enve bottle cage ,
Enve wahoo mount

Build finish of the bike is great
i could lower the weight with a change in lighter wheelsets and tires.

Didn't realize this bike could accommodate mechanical. I am particularly interested in the Melee as a light gravel bike. Any special requirements for Ekar? Is the shifting fine?

Overall, are you happy with the bike?
you could with Ekar pretty happy with it. got a few set of wheels for it.. WTO 60 and WTO33 and some Enve with 35mm tyres. shifting is okie. i rode it up to one of the moutain in taiwan. Wuling..
