Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Not a fan tbh. I think it's nice how everything flows but the way it's been executed makes it look very front heavy to my eyes. Also those handlebars look pretty high.

Love the frame. Would look better with black bar tape though.

Agree on the black tape. The first bar tape change will be for a black one. Love the ride, it's so much more comfortable than my Aluminium Cervelo S1.

I like the integrated A stem though it does limit adjustability to just length and either +/-5 or +/-15 degree stems with a half inch spacer.

I need to change the stem for 110 instead of 100 and also flip it to -5

Your dealer should swap astems at no cost. I had to do the exact opposite, mine came with a 110 and I needed a 100. Mine is a medium.

Very cool how it all fits together.

Not a fan of the stem/handlebar, too high and I agree, looks front heavy.

Mine is a medium as well.
The bike came with the 110 installed and the dealer included a 100mm stem.
I tried with the 100 first as my other bike has a 90mm currently that I'm replacing with a 100mm.

There is no cost as the spare stem was included.
