Hiya SG, curious as to how you are getting on with RT58 . Thinking of getting one myself . Noticed you didnt ride the Great manchester cycle on it .:-)

Lovely bike. I have had mine since March and I just love getting on it at any opportunity. Just changed the vision wheels over to some zondas and I love it even more now. Mine came with the slk crank with everything else ultegra

Was going too ask you the same question as Scotishgeek , but I think you have already answered it Bigal . Didn't you rate the vision wheels , thinking of changing to the Shimano RS11's but not sure . Also giing for Sram as I dont like the Shimano levers .

There is a youtube video of this bike with Campag groupset . Must admit I do like the clear lacquered carbon weave also

The vision wheels were fine to be honest and are now going onto my old trek for winter. I just wanted the zondas as I have been wanting some for a while. They certainly do give the bike a bit of extra speed and spin for ever.

Still loving the RT58. Great going back over some old Strava segments and knocking decent chunks of time off them.

I rode the Great Manchester cycle on my CAAD8 for one simple reason. The new bike was 5 days old and I didn't fancy crashing it due to some careless idiot.

The vision wheels are pretty good and not significantly heavier than my handbuilts (they get aired only on guaranteed dry days lol). It is pretty tight fitting tyres to them but other than than I've had no issues.

I've never taken to SRAM double tap, my brain gets fried after being so used to Shimano.

Apologies for the diversion but your photography skill and lens use are worthy of note in the OP. Nice bike BTW!
