I purchased a 2000 trek carbon frame used last year and had it built nicely with full dura ace and nice wheels and lots of different carbon parts.I really didnt get time to ride it much last year because of work committments and fixing up my house.This year I have been riding between 150 and 200 miles a week.My speed has improved drastically.I know a lot of it has to do with conditioning but I think a lot of it was getting used to riding a new carbon framed bike.Does it take some time to get used to a new bike and how it rides or am I imagining that.

    I'd suggest it's almost all down to increased fitness due to the extra riding you're doing. Unless you've drastically altered your position, a new bike doesn't take that much getting used to.
