Rides great, ofcourse it's my first road bike so I don't know much about them...
My only concern is the white bar tape, i'll have to find a way to keep it clean.
Hi aJohnson, really strange looking at your bike here, as i have the exact same bike!
Got mine as soon as it was released last year, the white bar tape was a nightmare to keep clean during the winter, i ended up going with black for a few months, however it looked naff with the black tape, so went white again and i've found a REALLY GOOD way of cleaning it and keeping it clean.
Go to
Halfords and pick up a can of GROOM, its a car upholsterly cleaner and it sprays out of the can in a white foam, which seems to eat away at the dirt, leave it on for about 10 seconds, then rup it clean with a clean cloth and the bar tape comes up like new, even removed oil from the bar tape that i've accidentally got on it during maintenance.
Here is mine:-

EDIT - I'VE SINCE REMOVED THE RELECTORS AND FITTED SPD CLIPLESS PEDALS
