RAAD-DAAD-CAAD + Tallboy + S-Works Crux

X2 you don’t want some dick on a blue canyon going past you up Whiteways.

Ha, to be honest it's made me ride better. I now get out the saddle instead of trying to grind my 95kg up a hill. The ratio gaps match my mountain bike (same cassette) so it all feels very natural to my muscle memory. Strava tells me i'm faster also.
Confident I can tackle most climbs down here in the SW on the routes I take. But do have a lovely 46T Garbaruk ring that i can step down to for long days in the saddle. Generally i'm 1 to 2 hrs though.

Voice of boring again but don’t cut and slam you’ll surely want this for some time??

Have you seen how long I keep bikes? 134 miles. That's how long! But yes, this one will be around for likely 2+ years. Currently as picture had 3.5 cm + a .25cm cannot be lost spacer.
1.5 - 2 CM retained seems sensible. This does have +8mm greater stack vs the Strada. Though so maybe 1CM come to think of it.

Purple I think is better than blue.

Neither! Well, the Blues will be fitted until my ordered Black RX4s arrive. Who knows what color the bore caps will end up mind. 8 week lead time on the new ones.

It’s fucking awesome!!

Thank you!! I'm excited to get back on a road bike after the most recent love affair ended in heartbreak.
