My new RT-58

Matt black all the way

Think your are right SG , called in the Sheffield branch for a quick look on Sunday dropping the wife off at Meadowhall , looked fantastic in black . Going over to Barnsley on Friday to sort it out hopefully . The lime & White looked pretty good too mind

I love it, the hoods are real comfy. Changing up a gear takes the slightest of touches and there is a good range of adjustment which is useful for my small hands. The RD has been playing up a little half way through the gears in that it isn't changing up/down one gear but that's due to the new cable stretching and I just need to index the gears, which I have been putting off admittedly...

Nice one , I've got small hands too & never feel confident braking on the drops with Shimano's levers . I've also got apex on my flat bar & really like it . Not long now & I'm off to Planet X to sort it out

yeah i feel really confident braking on the hoods and it's the first time i can say actually say that! The hoods aren't very wide you see so you can get your hands round quite easily.

Looking good, love the de-stickered wheels. Haven't dared desticker my road bike wheels yet, but I just did so to the wheels I'm planning on building up my mountain bike with, and they're looking so much better!

+1 on the photography, excellent photos. Want to take some of my bike?

Go for it. I've de-stickered all my wheels.

Ta for comments on the pics..... If I'm ever down your way with my camera lol.

You're not wrong SG , I'm chomping at the bit already
Sat in the back garden with a beer in my hand & the Barbie going seems to be helping though . Never thought about destrickering tbh but I might go for half the stickers to loose only half the speed
