Ordered my first roadie today!

[MattHB]

Went for a felt Z6 in the end as I was just blown away with its looks and how comfy the geometry felt (no pun intended).

They only thing that worries me is how much £££££ I could spend putting blue stuff on it! It has blue anodised bits on it that are just begging to be added to!

Its Ianrauk's fault with his blue chainring bolts!

Anyway, hoping its in stock with the distributor, will find out tomorrow eta.

Thanks for everyone's advice. Never thought I'd ever own anything like that

 

[MattHB]

What groupset etc does it come with?

It's got tiagra on it at the mo. I know it's bottom endish, but I can always throw some cash at it later. It'll do me to get going. Do they do blue 105? :d

Got any pics of it? Congrats on the purchase

 

[MattHB]

I'll put up pics when I get it at the weekend, but the wiggle stock pic is

Notice the boingy blue adonized bits

Called LBS for an ETA this afternoon to hear they were building her as we spoke (no pun intended).

Full fit tomorrow at 4! Very axciting!

Pity first ride home will likely be a damp one. Will have to go steady.

Blue bling? Oh yes please.
Hope is the home for Blue Bling (Good ol' British company too)

You got the Blue Hope Seat Clamp

You got the Hope QR Levers

You got the Hope Spacers

And the Hope Bottom Bracket

Bling away my man. The Blue and the Black of your bike will look fantastic.

 

[MattHB]

Ooooooooo got the top one on as standard! You lot are bad for my wallet!

Well, I picked her up tonight and wow it's weird! Going to take some getting used to. I feel all kak handed with the gears, not used to drops either! Gotta learn how to ride again!

Pics at the weekend was dark when I got her home tonight.

Any tips for shifting with tiagra changers? I feel so all over the place. I guess it'll sort out over time. The gear change seems lazy too when going down, I suppose everything's a little tight as its brand new

hehe Thanks Paul. shes gorgous!

just reset all the mechs and she sounds much better, I think there might have been a little pilot error in the LBS when they set the rear mech.
