3 days and counting .......
#14
Cheers Yogi.

Ride went very well. Bit of adjustment required after being set up in the shop. Saddle height up by half an inch. May drop the bars by a couple of shims (want another ride before I do that) and stupid rattling wheel reflectors taken off. I've also a learning curve with the 'road' pedals I've had fitted. I'm used to Shimano SPD's but these are much harder to clip into as you set off. Had a comedy moment where I went to ride across a busy three lane junction and couldnt clip in. Ended up 'skateboarding' through it much to Daves amusement.

Took it easy on the ride as the bike is more focused than my old roadbike so needed to get used to the different riding position and twitchiness when pushed. Very impressed with it though. Smooth ride, good power transfer and felt easier on the climbs. Bit more tweeking to suit me and it will be even better.

Some pics of the beast taken in the factory this morning.
