First ride!! Short! Solo! Still working up the wife's nerve. The cold, wet weather is not helping!! Everything is working fine. Still need some slight fine tuning on the rear brakes. I have never owned a bike with cantilever brakes, so yet, another, learning curve of tuning. I have been riding Campy gear since 2006, so I also have to adjust some of my brain/muscle memory to the Shimano way! My '86 Cannondale was early 600 SIS so it shouldn't take long. The ride is pretty much the same as my 2006 Cannondale, (Campy aside), but obviously heavier and not as agile.
We are supposed to have a couple of clear days toward the end of the week, so I will go for a longer ride after some more twiddling.
Cheers,
Geary
