The version built with SRAM Rival XPLR AXS is quite similar to
what I designed and built in early 2023 for my wife and me.

Compare

Details are somewhat different, for example I choose titan frames
that don't need paint and road tires, because we don't do gravel.
Less fashion, of course, but from a functional point of view,
there isn't much difference.
