Blimey, time's moving slowly this morning!

I'm stuck at work, and waiting at home are two large boxes - one containing a Sonder Camino Ti and another containing a pair of Hunt wheels.

This is like waiting for Christmas morning when I was a child - I'm ridiculously excited!

That sounds good, could you do a mini review once you have ridden it? Cheers 1 shed.

I will gladly pop my thought up - there seem to be very few reviews on t'internet. Typically it is forecast to rain all afternoon - looks like we will be getting wet then!

A frantic afternoon yesterday to get the Camino ready - my neighbours had a garden party and I kept ducking out to fiddle and tweak the bike. I couldn't get the rear tyre to seat tubeless so it has a tube in it for now. My Brooks saddle also came over from my old bike.

I managed half an hour out last night between baby duties. First impressions are VERY good - I came from a Genesis Vapour which has a reputation for stiffness, and I was never really comfortable on that bike. The Camino is lovely and springy - to use an old cliché, it really feels alive. The Sonder flared drop bars are very comfy, and seem a much better shape than my old On One Midges. SRAM Force1 1x11 is a huge improvement over my old Sora stuff, and the hydraulic discs are tremendous, although still bedding in.

A much longer ride beckons this evening!

Very nice. Yes the brakes need a bit of bedding in.

PS take the green sticker off the rear mech

Looks very nice. Anyone ridden a Broken Road yet? Can't find any online feedback.
