Hi All

Picked up my first road bike this evening. Can't wait to go out for a spin over the weekend.

I'm planning on riding to Belgium with a couple of friends at the end of July so need to get some miles in asap. I plan to cycle to work once or twice a week (17 miles each way) and do a longer ride at least once at the weekend.

It's straight of the shelf but I think it looks great :D

    Took me a minute to identify it too. I quite lie the 2013 livery for this bike. What I don't like is the shape at the head tube particularly on the larger bikes (58cm and up). It looks old fashioned versus the rest of the bike. Other than that it looks good. I hope you enjoy riding it.

    I bought the same bike last October as my first road bike. Done tons of miles on it, 85 miles round the peak district today, and I love it.

    Never, been on another road bike, so have nothing to compare it too, but for starters it feels like a good bike to me.
