    The saddle is off ebay item number 121246298454 it's only £29.95! More comfortable then my last 3 saddles weights just 95g and cost 3 times less! Dont let the lack of any padding put you off it flexes enough and its the shape thats more important anyway.

    Looks nice, but is there a reason that you have the stem like that, rather than level?

    Yes just because I have come from a much more relaxed frameset (Trek 1.5) I wanted to get used to the racing geometry first, although I think I will flip it round now as I have done a few miles on it and have been perfectly fine.

    Nice, enjoy riding it. I have two Addicts and they are amongst the best bikes to ride. Outstanding frame, great climbers, comfortable and with impeccable handling. Anyone I know who has one or has ridden one only have nice things to say about them.

    I agree completely, Just love this bike when on the steep climbs! And the frame is unbelievably light to.

    Nice bike, don't you slip off the saddle as it's gloss? At £30 that is a steal! I might get me one but in matte to keep me on it

    I worried about that before I rode with it but infact I don't slip at all, Done 100+ miles with it so far and never had any problems at all.
