New ride - Rose RS 3100 - Anyone got one?

bmwsport

Hi guys,

Excited today and I've bit the bullet and got myself an up to date road bike, though I've been riding a couple of years now my bike history has consisted of a late 80's 501 Raleigh, a Fuji Roubaix from around 2001 (the only bike I've had with STI's!) and most recently an early 80's 531 frame with campy SR.

And now I've ordered a Rose Xeon RS3100 Di2, I thought if I was going to get an up to date bike I may as well get the latest tech I could! Will be interesting to see how it feels, I'm expecting quite a difference from my current bike!

Is anyone else already riding one of these or indeed any other Rose? Would be good to hear how your finding it :-)

I have had my Rose for a bit over a year now and still absolutely love her. I still don't get bike envy - although I do keep looking at new wheels. Here she is.....

The customer service and whole process of buying the bike was also absolutely top class.

Hope you love yours as much as I love mine. I'm sure you will, it's a great bike.

Good to hear Dave, yours looks ace.

Definitely agree with some of the points regarding Canyon, I did seriously look at these but ultimately it seemed like I'd be getting a generic off the shelf bike, and when your spending a decent lump of cash I wanted a better experience than that. The ability to build a Rose up to the extent that it really feels like your getting a custom bike (I must of gone through at least 10 different specs on the configurator!), combined with the fact that the Rose is simply better looking and also cheaper for the same spec, meant it was a clear winner.

Also dealing with Peter, though have spoke to Udo also, top service so far.

Interestingly I was pretty much at the point of buying a Planet X RT-57 before I'd even looked properly at Rose, but I found their service below par and decided against it, their loss and my gain I guess!
