Thanks guys.
@Josh it is yes. I am not going to be joining a club and start racing anytime soon. But chuck 28-32 GP4000 on this and I could keep up on RP laps.
Last summer I was ramping up towards doing 300km rides but after a couple of 170km rides the knee started acting up and I am now not sure if I'll ever get back to doing plus 100km rides.
Instead of being bummed out about that I've just decided to settle for 50-70km ish riding with gravel roads in the mix and keeping the dynamo on so I don't have to worry about rising after dark, which is when life often permits me riding.
But most of all I just build this thing because I loved it. The frame brings me back to good memories of being in shape and riding around London fast AND I won a cat 4 crit in the Olympic park on this.
