Ride report:
It's FAST.
It needs new brake pads.
Sprocket 5 slips under load, moral of the story: new chain = new cassette.
The saddle is horrid so the B-17 is going on.
The reach is a little too much so the 80mm stem is going on too.
It handles fine, the slightly longer wheelbase means (I think) it's less twitchy and more relaxing than my Merckx.
I love the bar end shifters.
Did I mention how fast it is...?
