That is very nice indeed. How are you finding flex/speed wise?

This ^^^. Also, what size is your frame?
I loved my Nanolight, but ultimately swapped it in because the back end was flexing too much

Thanks for the complements!
I couldn't wait to build it up, so I forgot to put the frame on the balance..
The frame is a size small
At first I thought the saddle was a bit to wide, but after a few rides it actually feels comfy, especially in a low triathlon position..
Compared to my previous bike (duratec cool r14) this frame is a more responsive.. So I will not complaign about rigidity. Can't wait to test it in my first triathlon!
Two downsides about the frame:
- the mat finish is really a pain in the ass to clean
- water that comes in the frame after a rainy ride.. Comes out very slowly (like 2 rides further)

Why not?!
Perhaps his budget didn't stretch to a super expensive frame and the other stuff too but it's not like the N2A is a supermarket bike, it's just not a 3 grand superbike frame.
Personally I think it all looks great.
