I need to ride a larger one, the issues with the fit, honking brakes and unavailability of the lower half of the cassette plus the howling gale I was riding in all coloured my impression of it I suspect.
It was very stiff under power, and generally nicely neutral in terms of handling (at the speeds I attained around Regents Park), but there was nothing that made an impression on me as being better than my System Six.
I quite liked the braking performance (apart from the honking)- that stuck out, but I suspect a lot of that came from the alloy braking surface rather than the mini-V brakes.
A better test for it will come with the 58cm in some calmer weather- what I am interested in is whether there will be a noticable function of the aero tube shaping as there is with swapping from (say) Open Pro's to 404's.
