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! :D
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 :wink:
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 :D
Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!
