Thank you! Yep it certainly has been. I had a number of combinations in mind when ordering and having built. In the end I wanted something different and vibrant but that would also be classy and stand the test of time. I think this works!

Thank you for the kind words! It does ride beautifully. In fact I'd say that it rides about as smoothly as my previous Domane, albeit racier geometry and more aggressive positioning (which is what I wanted when doing the fitting). The bike is a great example of modern steel tubing, thoughtfully drawn and shaped for desired traits. In my case, I also have a Carbon seat tube, fork, seat post, and bar/stem combo so I'm sure that helps with some of the comfort attributes.
