New bike.... at some point

Post by Slenver »

Well, after a lot of procrastinating and trying to work out what it is I actually want, I've finally placed an order. At some point in the next 5 years or so, they'll send it out... things are apparently quite busy.

Having finally decided what to get, it turned out that only 2 shops in the country actually have one in stock so it forced me into action. I've sat on one but not ridden one - hope I like it :)

It certainly appeals to my aesthetic tastes! Tried not to let that be too much of a swaying factor but think I've made the right choice anyway 🙂

Good looking bike. As Weeksy says, sleek and uncluttered. Compact set up is almost retro these days, is it not?

Well, it's a gravel bike so they tend to have slightly lower gearing. Coming from an MTB it's going to seem pretty high to me :)
