Have just collected it. Test road it a couple of weeks ago and just had to have it.
It's been upgraded from an aluminium Bianchi and the ride quality is a million miles away from that.

I know the grass needs cutting and the fence could be better but I don't care, I have a new bike. ๐Ÿ˜‰
Off out now for a nice long ride on it. ๐Ÿ˜€

Turn the stem over first, push the saddle back and get some decent rubber on it!
That aside...yeah, its okay....not bad. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

oh,yes, lose the valve caps too!

Very nice bike...but give him chance to ride it!

Although it would look better with the stem flipped, saddle is not that far out ๐Ÿ™„

I likey!

Leave it just as it is. Go out, ride it and make adjustments based on your own personal preference. Try out each change in settings with a very long ride - not for any reason other than it's an excuse to go a long way and have fun. ๐Ÿ™‚

That's exactly what i'm going to do before the next ride. Didn't have time tonight as I was meeting people for a club ride.
Even with it set up incorrectly it is so nice to ride. Hills are now enjoyable. It's really easy to get a descent rhythm going.

Thanks Penrod Pooch. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Very very nice and very fast looking Mulletus!

But I thought the mtb was the bike of choice right now? SDW conditons will not last forever!!

You must do it. ๐Ÿ˜€

Specialized road tyres are really good. At least the Roubaix Pro ones i've got on my winter bike are.

Why didn't you post the photo with the banana skinsuit on? What you need is a top trowel to build you a new shed for it! ๐Ÿ˜› What you doing at the weekend? Road ride somewhere between here and there?

Does it say tarmac on it in case you think it may be a mountainbike?
