it's pretty porky but it's down to the hefty standard wheels that come with the CdF, a change of wheels to says, Hope Pro2 EVO laced to Stan's Crest would make a dramatic difference IMHO.
Man it's stiff, a lots stiffer than I thought it would be but still pretty comfortable to ride, not unlike my Brooklyn, the only thing I hated is the blasted Sora shifter which is fucking awful, can't downshift on the drop, not enough purchase to brake confidently, and coming from Campag, the little downshift button is awkwardly tiny.
Hood shape is reasonably comfortable thought, won't be long for bar-end shifter and SRAM S500.
