Nice, thanks! I recall the Microtex I bought having a soft, plush feel/look to it, whereas yours looks shiny and leathery; is that just from use, or is that the way it looked when you bought it?

I'm not sure how accurate the strava apps max speed is, but I can tell you I was terrified.

It was pretty much like that when I bought it. I think some of the finish and feel varies between different colors with this tape, so that could explain it...

I'll continue the ride + ride data trend!
My Strava ride got cut short but total for this morning was 11mi and 1700ft at 13.5mph.
Love the climbing ability of this bike. Surprising for a fixed gear.
Tomorrow I will be breaking her in with a 60 mile / 3500 ft paradise run with hawk hill. Will be a blast with the good weather underway. Too bad the rest of the week is rain. Gotta get it in before the storm!

hard climb is hard. i have gears envy here.
2/3 of the way through the race you exit a forest hell onto a fast paved section. all the photos from this section everyone is smiling haha
