I've been using the hire bikes for 6 (?) months now, and this was the first outing on my new Dolan PreCursa. Bike was fine apart from a scrapped saddle and bar tape, so kept riding once I'd changed shorts (no, not for that reason). For what's essentially the same bike as the hire bikes, it felt massively different/better - don't know if it was the 86", rather than 84", gearing (which was an emergency measure as I didn't get a 49t chainring to give me the max 88" - hopefully that'll be even better).
Don't half feel sore today...
