Update after 70ish miles of riding.
So as I said on Friday the short cockpit is rubbish for road TTing but I managed to get 50+ miles of off road in, including one of my regular commutes, a decent prat about some local trails and a run around a bit of the South Downs.
This stock M109S came in at 29lbs / 13.2KG, which is 3lbs heavier than my Devinci. The Maxxis Ikons were a little bit too slick for some of the conditions and I’d want some rubber with a bit more bite.
Oh and 730mm bars are waay to big for me!
It felt like more work on the ups and I did make use of the whole triple chainset. I reckon I could get away with a 38/26 ish double combo.
Bike definitely flattened out all little roots and ruts and a run down a short flight of wooden stairs was noticeably smoother.
Would I buy one? I definitely don’t NEED another bike but N+1 and all that!
