First ride was definitely a tweaking ride. Second ride was the first time maybe ever that I finished a ride and thought "this bike is perfect, I need to change nothing". Super stoked on the Revel. It could be new bike Googles but the ripmo AF and jibb did not give me this vibe when new. 

Yay! Wierd to not feel like I have tinkering to do though. Some purple headset spacers and seat clamp maybe. Lol.

If nothing performance changing, purple ano is a psychological upgrade.

False. Each purple ano part is proven to add 1.6 watts.

Lol- I think both are particularly true for the 40+ crowd (at 41 I am just old enough to have fond memories of the purple ano glory days).

I'm more a blue ano guy myself, but I can appreciate a nice purple ano bike when I see one.
