new bike, test ride :D

[young Ed]

so the new bike is built, the gears set, the brakes braking but not breaking and the saddle and bars adjusted
just a little 5 mile spin but enough to see that everything was running fine and smooth. even managed a new PB on my favorite strava segment, after more than 6 months of thrashing along it on the old bike

this is the only pic i have of it and it really doesn't do it justice

scott speedster 2009, hydroformed alu frame with carbon forks, bontrager wheels fitted new this year, brand new black bar tape, 105 groupset apart from crankset (might be compag i forget) and tektro brake calipers
love the 105 levers and rear mech, they look and feel and work so good

time for a proper ride tomorrow i say
Cheers Ed

Cheers Ed

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

With all these ''many happy miles'' wishes, it sounds like it's your birthday. May I be the first to wish you many happy returns?

 

[fossyant]

Looks a cracker.

 

[rb58]

Enjoy! I reckon I'll be struggling to keep up with you next time we're out. Oh, and make sure it's clean before @ianrauk gets back from his pub crawl in California.
