6 Months in and after a lot of fiddling I am finally happy with my fit, finding it really comfortable completely slammed. I have also started making my first small modifications. The ride was quite chattery with the 23mm tyres and with some very good gravel tracks that I enjoy riding where I live, I have put some 28mm Clement Strada LGG tyres on the rims. First impressions are that they aren't any slower and it's like riding on clouds! Also I think the tan walls really make this bike stand out in a sea of black bikes!
