Here's my submission. My stoker couldn't make it out today so I got to ride the RS2 on it's maiden voyage. WOW, WOW, WOW. Comfortable from the get go, needed one saddle adjustment then I settled right in. As others have said it's like having a bike with suspension, great road isolation but get up out of the saddle and man handle the bars and pound on the pedals everything stays put, solid. Best bike I've ever ridden. These are first impressions over a short 16 mile ride but I have to say I felt like the bike just disappeared under me. A note on the RED drivetrain. I have seen reviews of people having shift/setup problems or noisey shifting, what are they talking about********** The shifting came into adjustment faster than any bike I have ever built. One minor adjustment on the front derailleur then the thing worked with no problems the rest of the ride. Any bike i have built prior to this has required a bit of massaging to get it right, it's expected. Either I've gotten good or SRAM has a great system, me thinks the latterQ! Noisey shifting, give me a break! I was very anxous buying a bike with no data points to form ride imppressions. I think I have lucked out and I'm going to be very happy. I'll be interested to hear what others have to say.
