    Ive just got back from a 26.5 miler (my usual route) and ive knocked over 5mins off my best time! and 8mins off my time last sat! i managed to hit a max of 40mph. To say im happy and its money well spent is an understatement!

    I commuted to work yesterday and knocked 1 min off each way (8.6miles).

    So yes a good bike really does help!

    Its a really strange ride as its dead smooth riding but the rigidy is there when its needed. This isnt something ive experienced before. so is a whole new thing to me.

    Yes i am a very happy chappy! not bad for a bike that cost me £1600 all up! ! ! (well thats what it cost if the mrs asks! :wink: ) :twisted: 8)

    The saddle is a Flite max gel flow team. which has now been changed a few times. lol

    it will be for sale when iget around to it along with a fizik arione cx..

    Ive also now have the same bike but in centaur for training and commuting. As the one in the pic got abit damaged by a car! :x :cry: but will hopefully be replaced by one of the same or sell both and get a nice imperele!!!!!!!!! :roll:
