Very nice,I really like the finish on these bikes.

Enjoy it.

I like these. Remind me of the movie Tron.

I'd re-position the bottle cage, it's easier to slot in when on the down tube and it's more aero - unless you're getting another!

Showing your age TT!

Appreciate your bottle cage advice, I wasn't aware about the aero aspect of positioning.
The cage in pic is a temporary cheap tesco special until I find some tasteful black numbers.

Thrilled with bike so far. Stiff, smooth, fast & responsive however the San Marco Concor saddle is a bit hardcore. Positioning is critical if you're to get to the end of the run without numb nuts and a squint but will persevere for the time being. May get smaller stem too as my elbows are feeling a bit too locked out when on the hoods.

No need for drastic measures Juan, that's why the big man in the sky invented credit cards!

Most bikes have a wider down tube, so it actually engulfs the water bottle from wind exposure. Whereas on the seat tube, the bottle is exposed directly to the wind, making the bike less aero. If the seat tube was as wide as the bottle, then there wouldn't be as much of an issue. Even then, it's still not as aero as the down tube, because the bottle itself isn't exactly aero (unless it's a TT one).

I'm against GCN on that one. Although it does sometimes depend on the frame - however, the down tube is predominantly more aero.

But it does not matter which one of you is right as it makes not the slightest bit of difference in real world cycling.
Now can we all get on admiring this lovely bike?
