    Very cool, I'll keep an eye out as I ride on the Surrey / Hampshire borders.

    17kg in standard spec, which mine is apart from Sram Rival fork mounted gearing. Definitely need the granny ring to lug it up the hills!

    That's quite a machine...
  • Is that an on-board Camelbak?

    Yeah, need something other than the usual bottle/cage setup, as I'm using my hands all the time. Handy for tools/spares as well.

    Thanks for all the positive feedback!

    Really enjoying getting out on it as much as I can and seem to find my experiences with other road users a lot more positive than regular riders report on the same routes.
