Quick spin this morning says it’s great. Wasn’t sure if I’d feel it was too much compromise between my 2 current bikes but apart from the weight, feels very much like the caad. It’s lively, steering is more nimble than the arkose. Suspect it will feel a bit more chill with 42 rather than 28c tyres but so far pretty pleased. And I haven’t bought anything for this frame yet, it’s basically the caad build but with the cranks and saddle from the arkose.
As long as I can bodge guards on for wet days like today, I reckon I’m good to sell the other frames.
