Hi Gordon,
nice to see you here with your wonderful Vertex.
"Love the ride"
There is a big difference between out fraternal twins: about 1.5 KG :mrgreen: although we have a similar build.
But I wil keep it this way unless I loose some weight.
Enjoy riding it and keep it in this good shape.
Cheers
Axel
