That's a nice high end mullet drivetrain! My flat bar GR300 has a Rival/GX AXS mullet. Both my gravel bikes have AXS, I love it. Don't have the nerve or the money to put wireless on my mountain bikes though...

White frames with 24k lenses and black/gold accents and rubbers would match that bike perfectly...
 
I never heard the drivetrain referred to as a mullet before. My cycling friends refer to the XX1 parts as "Gucci" since they are a waste of money, and don't really offer better performance (they just look cool if you keep them clean). AXS is very good so far. I have Ultegra Di2 on my Canyon Ultimate, and it works great. I haven't ridden this Eagle AXS enough yet to compare, but it shifts nicely so far.

There's no gold on the bike... the XX1 chain and cassette are copper with rainbow master link. The matching pair I made has a polished white frame, matte black jaws, and vented "fire" lenses with orange accents (like the bike).

Ah I see, its copper. That's even better! I had a Niner with copper/bronze accents and I put copper bottle cages on it.

Yeah technically a mullet drivetrain is MTB gears with drop bar levers, but the road/gravel crankset paired with MTB rear derailleur with wide gearing gets called a mullet as well...
