Yeah well, it's just me going for a spin around Bristol
I wanted to avoid talking about the sleak lines or the bikes equipment or how responsive it is
I hope to buy a new bike to do Paris-Brest-Paris 1200km on. A 10km test ride isn't super useful but it's better than sitting on the saddle in the shop
Stuff I forgot to do on the test ride
1) stick an allen key between the tyres and the bridge to see if it will take 25mm+raceblades
2) ride no handed to see what the bike balances like0 -
I was only pulling your leg, though I did like the 'it's light, the saddle's white'!
Good on you for having a go at the P-B. I think the qualification rides start in a month or so?0 -

No, I'm wrong, it's late Febuary
