    I win :P
    I found the hidden lampshade. Its to the right of the TV behind the bike saddle :lol:

    Sorry, could not resist.

    Glad you got your bike. Keep us updated on how you get on.
    Nice weekend for riding :wink:

    Is the seat not a little low for you? You might want to angle it forward/down a bit too, especially if you raise it.

    The seat went up 15mm today, probably will go up a touch more yet, will wait for my shoes to arrive though, it was fairly comfy but after the 12 miles I did this morning, bibs will be here next weekend!!!!!

    11.98 miles, 46 minutes, 15.6mph average speed, and windy as anything in the countryside in Lincoln!!

    This now gives me a bench mark of what I can achieve :D
