They certainly are – you were right, the medium spring is a bit better for my weight.

Lovely bike that Mildred. Is that the gritstone BFe? Thinking of a soul here and can’t decide between black or orange. Have black Revs and thinking the black frame would go well with it. Any more photos?
Edit: what seat post and stem you got there?
Yes It is the gritstone; looks very understated and stealthy in the flesh. The seatpost is a sunline v1, and the stem is a Pro FR in 50mm.
58cm Forme Hiver
Ultegra/CX70 build with Kore wheels, bar and stem,Thomson post, Rocket Rons, Egg beater SL’s and a Fizik Gobi.
Black bottle cage on order too.
New toy being road tested, got to say after 5 hours on the road I’m impressed, bar a little disc/calliper tweaking along the way to stop pad rubbing squeaks.
I’m sure those HOPE road bikes are super lush….but those graphics everywhere ruin them.
You’re welcome to your opinion of course but a, they’re cross bikes and b, they are Factory Racing Team bikes so are designed to be over the top and to get attention, look like they achieved that goal!

All I said was that the graphics ruined them regardless of what they are….
the bikes look super lush as previously stated…. jeeez.
Me me me. New CX bike here. Need to get some proper photos now that it has been ridden and tweaked. Lovely and light, but I have a niggling feeling that the next size up might be better (the seat post is now a few cm higher than in that photo). Time will tell.
