Rides gr8...love it...I don't need a new bike after all!
Change your wheels.I’ve got to say my London road is surviving its second winter well. It’s Not been washed yet this winter and had zero maintenance as yet in 18 months (2 winters almost ). Everything works well still and I’m sure once cleaned in spring it’ll look good again.
Just a pity it rides so awfully. Easily the deadest feeling bike I’ve ridden ever and so hard to get a decent average out of.
Change your wheels.
Thats a real shame, even at 12kg a bike can feel nimble enough, my Coyote is about that weight yet with new wheels feels pretty sprightly and is happy to cruise along at 18+ for mile after mile.I’ve tried different wheels and tyres and it’s still a pig. Ideal winter bike but nothing more.
It weighs 12kg so it’s never going to be fast but it’s just dead feeling too.

thanks for the feedback on the London though, it was one of the frames I was considering as a build.
