    Yea but I am a lot older :(
    I have dropped the stem by 10 mm since the photo was taken as I am still getting it set up so may drop it a bit more after a few rides.

    Did 30 miles on Saturday to try it out, smooths out the road well and rides a treat. Any opinions on the Antares saddles for longer rides, this one is a wider saddle than I usually ride but it seems ok. I know it's subjective but just asking.

    I have the exact same bike except went yellow (Canyon), good choice. Yeah I found the saddle really hard, broke it in after 200 miles and now don't mind it so much, worth sticking with :D

    Although I upgraded the seat post, not sure if that helps with the ride but looks awesome.

    Cheers for that, overall comfort is fine and the bike as I have said does soak up the bumps a bit better than the PX, noticeable but not life changing. Lovely bike to ride just feels nice and solid.

    Always interesting for me to see how a particular frame looks in XS, as that's the size I usually ride too.

    Looks lovely. Crying out for some 50mm carbons.

    That may be an option on the other bike but as I am really light (51kg) this is going to be kept as light as poss for the hills. :shock:

    I thought I was pretty light at 5' 4'', 58kg and 7% body fat. You must float up the hills! :shock:
