New Bike! So Happy!

[RobWard]

At last! No more peddle power of the snow plough (Raleigh Hybrid)

So excited with my new purchase and considering I have not ridden a drop bar in like 20yrs plus, I took to it like a duck to water, Even the strange gear shifts only took 10 minutes or so to get the hang of.

Took it for a spin around the village on one of my normal quick routes and did it in 10 minutes less with an increase of 6mph avg speed. The hills were a breeze compared the the Hybrid. Totally love this bike. My cycling days have just moved up a gear.

I also prefer drop bars.. Enjoy it.

Nice bike. Love my Cannondale too.
Keep your Raleigh in good fettle for the times you don't want the Cannondale getting crapped up. Your legs will feel stronger when you get back on the Cannodale after riding your steel horse.

Very nice!
You'll need mudguards fitted for a dry bum cycling experience
Also, now that you're so fast you'll want to be on the road all the time
