Changed a couple of bits in the 3 weeks I've had it

After riding to work on a mountain bike for years I wish had got a road bike sooner

Ritchey wet black seat post on order that will be all the changes until groupset starts wearing out then I may go for a complete shimano 105 setup

Got the very same bike so understand the instant saddle upgrade!

Just bought myself some almost new Mavic Aksiums as the spokes on the stock wheels won't stay tight but apart from that I'm loving it!

Like the look of what you've done with yours.

Thanks , really like the bike had no problems with the original wheels so just kept as a spare , got the fulcrums as a present so even better

I have the 2012 White/Black version and its a great bike. I really like this years colours for the 3 model. If I had 2013 Sora on mine id be happier.

They really are great bikes. Never thought I would get on with a road bike but this suits me so well
