Thanks @velocio
Oh and here’s the ride report I sent to Craig:
Wow. This bike is easily the best handling bike I have ever ridden. Steering was completely effortless. It was telepathic. Genuinely telepathic. I didn’t even have to try and point it in the right direction. It just went there. Really have never had that sensation before. I didn’t do much climbing or descending as I wanted to take it easy but I cannot wait to get this on some twisty descents in the Santa Monica Mountains!
It cornered like it was on rails, too. Felt like my BB was way lower than it actually is - In a good way. Just glued to the tarmac.
It was also smooth like butter, obviously. Still need to play with tyre pressure as I’ve never used these Corsa’s, but the frame just soaked it all up. Potholes? What potholes!
To be perfectly honest, I can’t say much more than that at the moment. I’m sure I’ll get a better idea of how it handles after I take it for a proper ride this coming Friday. More thoughts will follow...!
