Bought this bike second hand and it arrived on Friday. I have already added the red bar tape and cable outers (I think the blue and while was a bit cold). I bought some speedplays from the classifieds and have placed an order for some handbuilt wheels from Strada as I don't think these ones will last too long with my bulk on them.

Commuted on it for the first time this morning and it felt good. cant wait for the longer ride home tonight.

Nah - just needs setting up properly and owner dude getting used to it.

Sort stem and bars, get riding.

My post wasn't very constructive. Apologies.

Yeah just need to set up correctly.

I'm sure I will be tinkering with it over the next few weeks. the saddle needs to go and I am looking for a Fizik Aliante VS on the cheap and I do like a more upright position so am happy with the stem angle. bars probably need rotating slightly but i'll tinker as I go I think. I normally ride a 60cm frame so I was surprised how comfy the 58 felt when I took it out the first time.

Lovely bike, it is a great colour scheme.
