First shakedown and quick hit out.
 

Hello team, As this is my first real post firstly I'd like to say Hi to you all from Downunder :) I fit into two categories here on the Bike forums (well will in a few days when I turn 50 ;)) I'm tipping the scales at 229lb and stand just over 6 feet, for my impending b/day my partner and our childern god bless them :thumb:) gave me the go ahead to purchase a new ride which I took for its first run yesterday.

The bike is a Jamis Pro Di2 so being new to electronic shifters I took it steady for the first third of the 18km ride, checking for any noises, slipping seat tube and so on.... once I was happy with how things were going I decided to "give it some" on the way home. As usual I had Strava running and I felt like I was pushing at about 85% enjoying the crisp handling, responsiveness and acceleration of this full carbon weapon, you can Imagine the surprise when I got home and jumped online to check my ride.... 10 PR's in a row with an average of nearly 11 seconds faster! gotta luv it!!

Some of these segments I've been trying to better for months, dont get me wrong, I loved my old Scott speedster but this thing is just awesome!! :D

Anyways thats enough for now, again Hi to all and happy cycling.

cheers, John

Welcome and congratulations! Best of luck with the new ride (hoping my drool doesn't short my keyboard) and much health and happiness for the next 50 years!

Welcome! I fit to three and a half categories here on BF: clydesdales, commuters, winter cycling and living car-free (half on that one, I am "car light" since my wife has a car).

I also recently got a new Jamis. Mine is a Jamis Commuter 3. I picked it up at the LBS a week ago and am still getting it adjusted and ready for commuting duty. Seems like a great bike so far. It will be my summer bike. I have a chainless Dynamic with studded winter tires which will be my winter/slop-weather bike.

I think you just inspired me to take a night ride on the Jamis. See you around the Forum...

Hey, welcome! Nice to here of the shiny new bike, enjoy! Oh, and put up a pic of it when you get a chance! :)

Cheers,
Fellow Ozzie (in Singapore).

Thanx for the welcome guys, made a few changes to the fit today and will be heading out in the early morn for a ride to Rockingham (Western Australia for all you north of the equator types ;)) and back, it will be about a 60 mile round trip so that will be a good test for us both! will be warm on the way back though.... we are expecting 35 degrees C tomorrow, I think thats about 95F? anyway keep knocking out those miles and stay safe.

cheers, John

oh... and OiS, i'll post a pic soon.

What a great post, new bike and more speed! Please post pics, I rode a Di2 and have a bad case of the gottahaves.

ok, thats the first major ride done, bike performed flawlessly as expected, way better than I did :)
