Few shots from this morning's ride (the 'cursed' theme continues by the way, stupid valve core came out of the inner tube twice, seat pack dumped its contents on the road, re-clamped the QR skewer and the mudguard started rubbing, etc etc).
Quite interesting, it's really nice to ride. Not as sharp as I'm used to but it's not a slow handler by any means, and it's very nicely balanced, very composed. It squirms a little bit when the tyres are loaded up through a corner, but I think I might play with the tyre pressures and see if I can dial that out. On the whole I'm really impressed, it's a better handler then I was expecting. It climbs really well too (despite the weight lol), the rear feels really solid, though I think the 36-spoke rear wheel might have something to do with that.
Yeah, it's good, I'm happy.
