Had it for a few weeks now and I've got to say it's a cracking ride for the money. Fancied something with discs and a bit nippier than the Alfine equipped MTB I've been using for the last year.
The only things I've changed (not pictured) are the grips, truly uncomfortable, but would have been changed anyway as I've put some bar-ends on and stuck my trusty Charge Spoon saddle to keep my backside happy. It will be getting full mudguards come autumn but the Race Blades will do for now.
A few hundred miles in and I'm finally getting used the higher gearing of the compact double compared to easy-street cruise control with the Alfine which was running on a 44 upfront and a 20 on the hub. The MTB has been single-speeded and I'm debating whether to sell the Alfine or not.
