AlanD Posted October 22, 2015 Share Hi AlanDI've only rode around the block, but the steering is very sharp and responsive. Haven't done a proper longer ride, but I'm in a much more upright position which I prefer (lower back problems and 2 vertebrae seized)Ok cool. Glad it helped you position. I remember when I changed to a shorter stem, was so good and had more control and the bike just went where I wanted it to go and I felt like a better rider that I actually am...hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanD Posted October 22, 2015 Share Okay cool. Not as narrow as it looked. If you do feel the need to go wider, go for the rapide bar. Farking strong and reasonably light. Cheap as chips as wellAgree on the rapid bar. Myles, what would happen if I go from a 60mm stem to something shorter? Should I, would it be beneficial?

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 22, 2015 Share Agree on the rapid bar. Myles, what would happen if I go from a 60mm stem to something shorter? Should I, would it be beneficial?It would enable you to get further behind the saddle on the tech bits, and sharpen the steering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee jay Posted October 22, 2015 Share Little bit of illness-induced internet spending... Frame & tyre colour combo is an acquired taste, but keen to see if the Vittorias are as supple as they are said to be. ... and yes, that steerer tube needs to be trimmed a.s.a.p!

L.T.G Posted October 23, 2015 Share Awesome! From where if I may ask? I have been looking for the same shoes but got told only the black/grey ones will be brought in. Alas..your research is correct. I don't know why this decision was made, to only bring in the black/grey ones, which are still really cool..but the green ones are so much nicer. digression over....My folks were overseas now and I got hold of a, sorry the, Spez dealer in Madeira who had stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
