  1. Thanks for all the great comments guys, i will post up a review on how she performs once i have been out on a decent ride :bicycle:
  2. Awesome looker. My first road bike in nearly the same length of time was a Cube (not Agree GTC) but was very much in my mind when I upgraded last summer. Still love the Cube though. I hope you really enjoy it!

    Cracking looking bike
  5. My first real ride today 20 mls, here are my humble thoughts on my new bike. Firstly the ride comfort is very good soaking up all the bumps the road could throw at it , the bike feels solid and true on fast decsents, and feels solid on climbs and when you come out of the saddle, steering inspires confidence in quick turns. Acceleration is awesome, attack the pedals and the transfer of power is instant ^_^
    The Shimano 105 GS is slick and precise with effortless changes.
    This was my first 20mls (averaged 16 mph) on a road bike for 30 odd years, but i got home after my ride feeling very fresh, no shoulder, neck, back ache ect lets hope i can say the same after a 100 miler :smile: this maybe down to getting fitted correctly for the bike, but i also think the bike itself also as a lot to do with it. i am very very pleased with the overall performance of my bike and feel it was money very well spent

    Apologies if my "review" is basic, it is just my findings, and opinions after a ride out this morning.
