I have the 2015 Propel
I have the 2015 Propel Advanced 1 too. I’ve not done much on it yet and the only real disappointment has been the wheels. The front was out of true from new and was straightened by LBS but feels like its on its way out again, and the rear flexes lots. I’ve just bought some Cero AR30 wheels for it and am hoping that they perform better. They are also about 400g lighter than the stock wheels.

My only other concern was when I was swapping spacers around for the stem I found a lot of swarf inside the steerer tube. Not really a problem in itself but it just raises concerns. External finish and fit is perfect.

Note also that the rear brake cable runs very close to the tyre so you are pretty much restricted to 23c tyres. Some 25s may fit but it would be a gamble unless someone can confirm that they definitely fit first.
