No wonder you're happy.

Very very nice and your "old specialized" dosen't look too old to me.

Two lovely looking machines.

I do like those Cinelli RAM bars. Been tempted to get a set for my Wilier for a while. Is routing the cables an easy enough job?

Thanks for the comments

I suppose old in comparison! But no.... defo not too old.

Unfortunately I can't comment on the bars as the shop where I bought the bike did the build for me. As you allude to I've heard it can be tricky to route the cables.

From a riding perspective - I couldn't resist going out on it for a quick 10 miles today despite the weather (just about dry enough) and they are lovely bars. Obviously can't comment long term but first impressions are very positive. I did flip-flop a lot whether to go for alloy or carbon - hopefully my initial impressions will mean it was the right decision. Just want spring to come round now so I can put some proper miles in on it.
