Wowowowow. Beautiful. How's she ride?
Different is the way to describe it. I came from a size small 2008 Ridley Cheetah which didn't fit me well at all (as proved at my fitting session). This new bike is much longer (still size S) which leaves me quite flat on it which means I've got much more weight on the front wheel, this adds to the twitchyness of her. The vibration reducing effect of full carbon on our big chip roads here in NZ was amazing, I now want a full carbon roadie to replace my work horse!
I felt much more comfortable decending in the aerobars, in fact I got up to 62km /hr (38m/hr) going down a hill around a corner when my previous fastest has been 57km/hr down a straight bit of road before I chickened out and braked.
All in all very happy, I've named her Kara. I'm going to have to fit the Jets & disc to it for a blast one day soon before my next race (Feb 5th...).
