No need to spend a lots of money.

Thanks Ed, I will give that stuff a look later, I have some dhb thermal bibs for winter which were well priced and seemed good quality so i was looking at some more stuff from them.

Just curious how the Histo' compares to steel when riding a lot of miles?

If you're free on Saturday I'll hopefully be seeing this absolute sled, George.

I love the Vivalo, but this feels so much better putting the power down, especially climbing, very stiff frame.

In short I think it is a great frame for longer rides, I will be doing some more very soon so I will let you know how I get on.

Really Jake? I will be free indeed. :)

Yep, bringing the Panasonic and wheels to Matty as we've discussed it and not only is it a few quid cheaper when using my railcard, but it's also safer! I was just really worried about it getting damaged in the post. Gonna bring Dolan pls. Matty suggested we go for a ride? :-)

That sounds awesome mate, i'm looking forward to it. I will have a look at a route we can do. What time do you think you will be down? :)

Getting in to st davids at about 10.30, but need to be back at st davids by about 1.15. Unfortunately the cheapest train back is at that time.

Fair enough, I will make sure i'm up so there is time to do a few miles at least.

like your going to be in any fit state to go anywhere saturday morning

;)

I rode George's histo today and all I can describe it as is tight as fuck. Everything felt so in tune. So smooth and stiff as anything. Incredibly light and accelerated with no effort atmall. Very jealous! I would have just ridden off whilst George wasn't looking if it was my size.

Strong riding from George, too!

Haha thanks Jake, it was nice to meet you. Thanks for not riding off with it! It was a nice day too, just a bit windy. I still intend to come up to London at some point, would be good to ride with some more forumers.

Good riding from you too Jake, especially with a bag on. :)

This is the ride btw, you can see where we went.

Still really enjoying the mash, it has taken up commuting duties as I enjoy it so much. I have raised the saddle and move it back a bit since the first pics. I have found the zoncolan very comfy, but i have just fitted the slr to test back to back.

I am looking at getting road drops in the next few weeks, I think I am going for the ergonova pro as I like the flat tops and the shallow drop will keep it comfy.
