however I have really noticed how much better the new frame rides
New frame as in the new old steel one or old newer Ali one?
I also switched it to mtb pedals and that was a good move as I can ride it at times when riding is not the main objective.
I like the sound of this, might do the same on mine as current pedals mean turbo or FKW rides only.

In the meantime I've been riding my current road bike now that it has a normal sized cassette back on and doesn't shift like shit. Mostly just smashing around the city trying to motorpace cars on major roads and getting sunburnt sitting at traffic lights, all in all a good way to spend a Sunday.

I'd like to get a bigger chainring (for lols) and maybe deda shallows (because they're the best bars), however I have really noticed how much better the new frame rides which made me think about this frame's future and whether I need to spend any more money on it…
I think I still need to ride the new one properly before thinking about swapping this out tho
In other news I got my first real* puncture since moving here on a big stand of metal cable and now my rear tire is no longer tubeless compatible (the seam in the sidewall split for some reason and I don't think I'd trust it if I patched it - although I did complete my ride by booting it and putting a tube in)
Fortunately I have a spare from the last time I killed one of a road tubeless set but now this will be getting even rattier with mismatched tires
*real as in not snakebite, I've had a million snakebite punctures which were all entirely my fault
