New bike, first ride... ;-)

Just took my new bike out for it's first spin... I must have looked a right plonker, riding my local loop with a great daft grin across my chops!
I bought a Cinelli Willin', SRAM Force, Easton 90SLX wheelset, FSA finishing kit, Fizik Arione & Conti GP4000S tyres.
Everything was comletely new to me, apart from the saddle, never ridden a Carbon bike, never used SRAM, etc...
What a result, looks drop dead gorgeous, fabulous ride, everything impressed, with the exception of the Conti GP4000S tyres, they felt a little slower than my Michelin Pro 3 Races, that could just be a figment of my imagination, though
I so wish that I had specced SRAM Red, now... Never mind, the Force looks and feels good enough for me.
I must recommend Epic Cycles for their fitting, demo bikes, advice on build up and pricing, well worth the 440 mile round trip

Very nice bike. Will have to keep an eye out for you/it, not likely to see many of them in this area.

Fat Bird Cycles sell them! Didn't find out till I'd got mine! :oops:
You may well see me, as I'm planning on riding in the North of the region at least once a week, just to get some hills into my training...
