First proper ride today. Up The Peak and a couple of minor climbs.



Ignoring the lack of rear brake and how odd that feels, the ride was fine. Bike has no obvious flaws or wobbles.

I did have one small moment with a high 'pucker' factor when the handlebars rotated forward a few degrees on the first descent, but luckily I didn't die and I stopped and tightened that up!




I won't be able to fit a tall bottle into a cage on the bottom of the down tube, but I may take shorter bottles and it will take the storage caddy bottle. The mounts are too far up the tube due to the position of the lug.
