Anyone got one of these: ROSE XEON CSL-3000 2014? If so what are your impressions of them ( the bike that is)?

    My CSL3500 is arriving in 3 weeks. i had a test ride about two weeks ago and ordered as soon as I had the money sorted. i'll let you know once it's arrived.
    Phone the uk rep and he'll let you have a test ride, he's up the road from you in Bath. Very nice guy.

    Excellent. Thanks so much - I'll do just that. A day out in Bath as well. Great. If you could put another posting up after you have had a ride I'd be very grateful.
    Cheers.

    Not sure if the image will upload, it's a Xeon CSL 3500. As per the Rose Versand configurator with the exception of 'bars, stem and post.
    I've had it for just over 2 weeks and it's more than I expected (hoped) it would be. Excellent service from Rose, from test-ride to telephone advice regarding sizing to delivery.
    It's my first carbon road bike and I took it on a 135km ride last friday, including The Tumble:

    I averaged at least 2km/h above my "usual" pace and it was my longest ride ever.
