@TRA - i can't even describe it.. i always had steel bikes and some alloy ones (dale 2.8 and a caad4) but nothing with a 1/8 ht or bb30.. so we can say that this is my first proper bike. it is a dream, really. i test rode some bikes i built on order, amongst them a supersix and that was the moment i realized why people love carbon and why it is so high praised as a frame material..
the 613 is really close to that. vibrations are almost nonexistent but the alloy rear end makes for a superb acceleration. i really like the feel of the forks too - i was never able to throw a bike into a corner this fast.. but i think there were variations with these forks. premium (yours), premium plus (mine) and premium sl, if i'm not mistaken. is your steerer carbon? i think i spot alloy dropouts on your forks - there might be some difference to the feel of the three models.
i love the look of the sram groupset on there. was thinking about sram when i wasn't able to source the carbon caged campag mechs i wanted but i'm so glad i went for campag in the end.. is yours bb30? what wheels do you have in there?
