Have done the cleaning and been for a walk. The forecast rain seems to have passed us by but the forecast wind is very much with us. Has taken the thermometer temp up to 10 degrees but it doesn’t feel like it.

Well .... that's a first.
Just had a Christmas card from our local pub landlord. :cheers:
Nice one.. You should invite him/her over for a substantial meal and then use hazard tape to mark out a seating area in the road and pass it off as a socially distanced beer garden like the crap pubs near me did in the summer :cheers:

Oooo.....nice. I love the look of titanium. It’s almost more of a champagne colour than silver. Mine is lighter than I was expecting too. Big mud flaps! Did it come like that or have you added extra?
Agree about the colour, I thought it was silver when I saw the bare frame but built up it is a champagne colour. Agree mine is lighter than expected. I haven't weighed her yet but think it will come in below my current winter Dolan. I was worried about weight but I feel the benefits of being on a new bike (current winter bike is 16 years old), better gearing, tubeless will more than compensate. The plan with this bike is to cover three bases - gravel, touring and winter - all of which are slower paced. Kinesis market it as an "adventure" bike so it easily covers the first two and basically in winter anything comfy with good mudguards does the job!! The mudguards and flaps are as supplied by Kinesis - these will be off as soon as we have dry weather.

I expect her to be a slower ride, I'll find out on Friday, but my logic is/was I've got my Cervelo for the days when I need a fast road bike.
