So I've put 55 miles in today and I have to say its a rather nice ride, soooooo much stiffer than the cube I had but not so that it becomes tiresome, id say you could spend some serious hours on this and not feel as weary as you'd expect to, all this said in my somewhat limited experience mind you. Happy that I went for SRAM I love the double tap levers and the force mechs are silky smooth pretty much silent compared to the Tiagra on the cube. All in all I'm a happy chappy...
