I could use some Red spacers if you no longer need them :-)

To be honest the whole frame, groupset etc...set me back quite a bit so the askiums can be improved.....I have had many many bikes in my time and let me tell you this rides as good if not better than some of the higher carbon ones ive have...to sum up..smooth and comfortable.

Nice bike - at least some people can't call it out for being fake.........nice colours too

I like. I like very much. I wonder what green spacers below the stem and a yellow one on top would look like

Is it 853?
My Rourke even as an Audax build is quicker and more direct than all the bikes I've ever owned (including the 'racier Alu/Carbon Giant TCR), it feels so direct even with bombproof wheels. My one mistake was to have an 853 fork .... I think I should have had Carbon, he 853 fork is a bit harsh.
