In the shop
On the way home.
Only ridden on the way back from lbs along the canal ,but i'm proper chuffed with her, seams to be very responsive, pretty light feeling, rolls very smoothly,....but the pedals just don't feels right but for now this is how she's staying.
better pics will follow with spec etc etc.

Nice bike there!
Bikes generally come with cheap "test ride" pedals. Get yourself some superstars or wellgo mg1s! They will make a massive difference to grip, and will be lighter and have much smoother bearings0 -
