First impressions- it's very low at the front, this is not a sportive frame.
It's very stable, and corners very nicely- that low front gets a lot of weight over the front wheel.
This bike is very stiff- I had thought that steel = bendy, but stamping on the pedals out of a corner shows minimal deflection at the BB.
A cable group takes a little bit of getting used to again- Di2 and it's front auto-trim feature is notable when you don't have it.
I really enjoyed my ride today, which is the main thing.
