Thanks for the positive comments. Tyres are skinny as I was aiming for something fast & light as it will see some road / flatter trails where I live – I can always swap them for something fatter if the mood takes me (one of the reasons I went for this bike).
Dropper is a possibility, hadn’t planned to fit one at the start, but given the breadth of capabilities the bike has it feels like I’m short changing it by not fitting one – hoping to find a cheap brand X soon.
Weight – not weighed it yet, need to get it on the bathroom scales. Tried to keep half an eye on weight where possible, without getting too carried away.
Was out walking / riding Malvern today so still not had chance to ride it 🙁
