Decided that my road bike is too big for me and causing me a few back problems. My road bike is fairly worthless and will be replaced with something expensive next year, so the strategy decided upon was to buy something cheap and smaller, swap all the bits over, then sell my frame and forks with the aim of making the transaction as close to revenue neutral as possible.
So this was bought:

Complete impulse purchase, but worth the gamble I think. But I don’t know what it is! I’ve done a google and Principia did a REX in 2001, 2002 and 2003, but they were aluminium. The advert lists this as aluminium, but the pictures are clearly carbon. Principia do a carbon REX now, but it’s not one of those.
Hopefully everything will swap over and I can sell my frame and that Royce BB to recoup the outlay anyway, but what have I bought?
Over to you….
