Stan Shaw Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hellooo, just got this built up on Friday and will be riding it until the Sky frames arrive. Only rode it for a few hours, but so far I absolutely love it. I still need to get used to the 17:14 gear ratio and slightly higher bottom bracket height, but initial impressions are excellent. I am also running a higher stem now too, which is better. The frame itself is SO stiff! This in turn makes it super responsive and rewarding to ride. Other good points include the super stiff brake booster area and the weight of the frame (1.68kg). The tubes aren't paper thin either, they seem quite thick.Anyway the whole bike built up weighs 8.92kg which I am happy with I also want to say thanks to K-124 UK, Trialtech and TartyBikes for sorting me out with the parts etc!Pics..
