At bike to work value would have been rude not to.

Re: 12.5 hours and counting.....

Got it last night. Box is fecking HUGE. Love the Maxx wheelset nice and clicky. Not fussed on the bars a bit wide. Might change them to some cCrank Bros ones Barneyballbags kindly Karma'd to me. Only had chance to ride the 5 minutes on the road to the train station this morning but I love it!

Paint is a fingerprint magnets though....

Looks great!!

Considered an On-One carbon frame myself, great value - but I'm still not 100% about Carbon frames yet - does it feel particuarly stiff/harsh?

I have a carbon framed Giant with 80mm suspension forks, so not an On-One frame, but it's far from stiff or harsh. I've never ridden an aluminium frame for more than about 5 minutes, but have had several rigid steel MTBs and road bikes. In comparison the carbon frame feels very plush, if a little dead, although how much of that is down to the suspension forks is hard to say, but even with the forks locked out it has a similar feeling.

It's a fast frame. Feels a little stiffer than I'm used to but my Flash I only rode twice. The other bikes I've had have all been steel

Lovely looking bike buddy, nearly got one myself but opted for a steel Charge instead. I'm looking for some black, wide, low bars let me know if they're up for sale

 

[Logic.Al]

They are up for sale. They made me feel like I was being crucified.

These seem to be great value and quite versatile. Hope you enjoy it!

It's light for a 20" framed 6" travel bike. 24lb all in. Only problem is that the forks were faulty so went back today. But Brant is swapping them for some RCT3's so better models.
