In pictures there is one grips, but this night already change them no ESI Racers. I'm planning to changes tubes to Schwalbe SV19a soon. Will think about other upgrades, maybe it will be brakes. Will start to explore places around Paris. So if someone live in Paris or near, please share places where are you cycling.

Looks good! Why not go tubeless?

Thanks mate! Because for now looks like I will travel with my bike every 2 months and actually don't want to mess everything up with sealant.

njee20

No reason you'll mess everything up, you can let the tyres down if that's what you mean? Although you don't actually need to, if an aircraft hold wasn't pressurised bicycle tyres would be the least of your worries!

Rigga

Very nice!

Will think about going tubeless. But the worst thing for now is saddle. I am back on bike after 2 years and pretty overweight with wide bones so Tundra 2 is not for me now. I was starting my cycling with fizik nisene about 5 years ago, then switched to fizik antares, then to Bontrager Evoke R. Then I built lightweight Cube Reaction 29 GTC also with fizik tundra and wasn't so bad at that time because my censored already adapt to saddles, but for now after 30min it is hard to handle that pain. Im thinking about Evoke RL in L size.

Looks like a very quick bike, very nice.

Fizik gobi may suit you better.

Thanks guys! This bike is really amazing, but my cycling skills after 2 years is terrible, actuallycI don't have enough strenght to perform as much as I want, bit will keep going. Today bought Specialized Phenom Comp. Get measured in Elite Shop and sit bone widht was about 124mm so took 155mm saddle. After 50 min ride didn't feel discomfort. It is downgrade in weight (220g vs 260g), but pretty huge upgrade in performance.

Beautiful Bike..

Thanks guys! Really love Thunder Burt tires because of rolling speed and grip that is amazing for that kind of tire. Will post later pic with new grips and saddle.

njee20

Agree on the Burts, so much more capable than they should be, looking at them.

persiks

You really should try them if you don't spend all day in muddy terrain.

Today take ride near Paris with my lovely bike. Now you can see New saddle and grips. Will take better pics in weekend.

By the way, specialized saddle is perfect for my butt. Can't feel it when riding.

Vmlopes

Is it the angle or is the saddle pointing massively downwards??

persiks

I think it is because of picture angle. It is little bit downwards, but not massively

njee20

Not trying to mimic Kulhavy's Epic?:

persiks

Nice angle. Maybe I should try like set angle like this one.

njee20

I'd have a go if it made me anything like as quick as him!

Today my bike saw wet forest conditions. TT tires are pretty slipper on wet rocks, but enjoyed riding really much.
