Hubs growing on me already, the buzz feels less annoying against the background of cars and there is nothing like the Blair of a free hub as you carve down a quiet hill.
the gearing is nice, 30t chainring and 34 at the back, won’t win any sprints but for my legs it’s perfect.
Saddle needs changing but it looks good, the position calls for something wider
38s are so nice to ride? Feels good to have an actual gravel bike again, fist time since I sold the Raleigh over a year or more ago. Monster cross or sscx is nice and novel, wide tyre road is doable, but a nice 38 just buzzing along? It’ll never be beaten
There is room to fit the 43s I have under the brakes, but I want to keep these for a bit, they feel fun.
Gave it a little cross town shake down, very good
