The Maiden Voyage

I couldn’t have asked for nicer weather to take the new bike out for a spin. It made it into the mid-sixties today! I was actually a bit too warm with my lightest tights and a long-sleeved jersey.

The new bike rides like a dream. I don’t know if it’s the carbon fork or what, but it actually gives a much smoother ride than the Pista (using the same wheels and tires). I really could not be any happier with it. I love my new bike!

Hey Greg - Looks FAST. Not much room for fenders or a rack, though ;)

So……do you love your new bike?

It’s really cool!

JW; you’re right about the rack and fenders; the geometry is so tight that there’s actually a fair amount of toe-overlap. Really got my attention the first time I realized that (doing a pseudo-trackstand at a red light). Thankfully I remained upright.

Hopefully in a month or two the motor will live up the bike’s visual promise.

And yes, I REALLY love my new bike!
