The initial road tests have been good and the bike is pretty much mint... it still has it's factory tyres which are in very good shape but they will be getting replaced with some 1.5 Marathons. We did not want to change too much on this bike but the new wheels and soon to be installed brakes are a definite improvement.

And the Brooks is installed. Is it as expected? I got the B72 I ordered, but painting the bike(s) so not tested yet.
