It's an exceptional bike, the handling is spot on and comfortable all day. It's praises are sung here, if you're interested:

It's been at my partners parents unused for 12 months, and I don't really do the sort of riding it's designed for any more.
The downsides, some rub from cables, the odd minor scratch, the stem clamping arrangement is not ideal for a carbon steerer, the rear wheel would ideally have the bearings changed soon. And...the rear triangle was crushed by airline baggage handlers, it's now 120-125mm OLN instead of 130mm. I have continued to use it since, for the last 4 years, with no issues.
I'll be sad to see it go, and won't mind if it doesn't sell, but given it's lack of use, I feel like I should move it on.
SOLD
