Went out for a test ride but illness just made it very unpleasant to be honest.
It's surprisingly fast on the road. The pirelli cinturato H tyres are going to take some getting used to, they basically handle like a slick in the wet.
Dropped the bars straight away. It was too upright for me initially. Not sure how I feel about the rival hydro hoods, I don't find them that comfortable, but maybe i just need to play around with position on the bars.
Reckon Il go with a shorter stem, it's got a 120mm on there at the mo as it's what I had in the parts bin. 100/105 mm will speed up the handling nicely.
I reckon I'm going to really like it. It's a mile muncher for sure and once I'm used to the handling, it will be a hoot on the trails.
