Finally picked up my new bike yesterday after work.
Between yesterday and today, have ridden around 25 miles on it, and have to say it's a wonderful ride, very rapid, and amazingly quiet.
SPEC :
• Frame - Alu Superlite 7005 Double Butted, RFR-Geometry
• Size - 18"
• Colour - White/Candy Blue
• Forks - Rock Shox Reba SL 100mm, Motion Control, PopLoc
• Headset - FSA No.10 semi-integriert
• Stem - Easton EA30
• Handlebars - Easton EA30 Lowriser
• Rear Derailleur - Shimano Deore XT Shadow
• Front Derailleur - Shimano SLX
• Gear shifter - Shimano SLX Rapidfire-Plus 9-speed
• Brakes - Formula Oro K18 hydr. Scheibenbremse (180/160mm
• Crank set - Shimano SLX Hollowtech II 44x32x22Z., 175mm, integr.
• Cassette - Shimano HG50 11-32T, 9-speed
• Chain - Shimano HG53
• Rims - Sunringlé Ryde XMB
• Tyre - Schwalbe VR: Nobby Nic Triple Compound 2.25/HR: Racing Ralph TC 2.25
• Pedal - White Wellgo MG1's
• Seat - RFR Natural Shape 0.1 M
• Seat post - Easton EA30 31.6mm
The only upgrade I made was to fit White MG1's, not 100% convinced if it was the best colour of pedals for the bike, but 110% convinced with the quality of them, they are ace!

It's actually £10 cheeper than the fully price of the 2009 version, but they've downgraded a couple of notible parts, what really put me off was the crankset is now Deore, and frankly I'd much rather have the SLX!

In fact everything I've read from owners would suggest you'd have a lot of recommendations for them!

The Ltd Race Team, is a slightly lower spec than the Race, still a good spec, and a very good looking bike!
The more I ride it, the more I'm liking it!
Only done about 50 miles on it so far because of work, life (ohh and dreadful weather), but every mile's been a joy!
Light, fast, sure footed, and amazingly quiet bike.
I'd highly recommend getting one,
I wasn't sure whether white bars would have been too much, but after looking at your bike , some nice light white bars and stem are next on the list!
