Bit of an update
More or less spent the past month and a half riding the bike - its brilliant, so fast, great ride, stable and comfortable..
Made a few changes position wise:
Swapped the mini-drops for bullhorns (Profile Airwing) and a nice SRAM CF lever.
Swapped the saddle and post (and got my hips a foot above the bars)
AND (don't laugh.....) got a pair of Cinelli Spinacci "Aero" Bars (for £15) they make a great difference once up to speed.
(Flat pedas were just for a warm down ride (see Concorde) to the shop)
Did a 25mile TT-style ride in 1hr15mins (19mph average) from Wanstead to Bishop's Stortford (not hugely flat) - kind of proves I need more miles in my legs and maybe 1 less tooth on the back (although on the way back, legs went with 5 miles to go and needed 20 teeth less on the front) - but great fun.
Also pick up this from one of our European forum members (girlfriend still doesn't know I've bought it :-s - hidden in the loft) :
Swapped to white tape and saddle for that faux-pro look and added a C-Record chainset for pimpness (and blasphemed with some silver MTB SPDs). Lovely bike in great condition, beaut to ride.
Cheers
