Re: The Cycling Thread
Funny you should mention that. I have been looking at this on eBay. Not a lefty though.

Re: The Cycling Thread
Yeah, when I say I was looking at it I was looking at decal positioning and colour. But I didn't bother and went for the clean look. If I was to do it again I would grind off all the cable holders on the frame that I wasn't going to use before painting

Re: The Cycling Thread
Shhh!
Not the carbon thoroughbred I was after, but it's a heck of a bike for the price. Pete

Re: The Cycling Thread
Just back from my first ride on it and WOW!
I'd forgotten just how fast a road bike can be. The frame transfers the power so efficiently and the carbon fork damps the road buzz beautifully. 18 miles today in really windy conditions. I had 40mph along the Blackrod bypass with the wind behind me! I can see myself spending a lot of time on this bike. Pete
