Is it a Ford Sierra?

Sadly in pre-internet days, there was a lovely photo of a Sierra crashed into a 'driven by you' billboard.

That's going to fly along.

I'll be curious to see what it does to your speeds/times overall. I didn't notice mine being THAT different. 2km/h

this is from Canyon

"Roadlite 6
With its high-grade aluminium frame, compliant carbon fork, and high-quality Shimano components, this is a light, fast hybrid bike that delivers an incredible level of performance at this price point."

so a fast Hybrid :mrgreen:
