It was a long break between chances to ride but now I have ridden about 30 miles each of the past two days and I'm planning a 50 mile ride tomorrow. I think I have the fit dialed in pretty well with a 100mm stem to replace the stock 110. I need to take the bike in to have the steerer cut since I have moved all the spacers from below the stem.


I am really liking the way the bike rides and how the shifting works. The trim on the front derailleur works very nicely to keep the chain from rubbing as I move through the rear cogs. So far so good with the saddle. I'm not sure if it will be a keeper, but I know I don't hate it.
The cold (by my wimpy standards) air and my lack of regular riding is keeping me kind of slow, especially on hills, but the gearing seems adequate for the local hills. I'll be hitting some of the harder ones around here during Friday's ride, so that will be a better test.
