Road 2

Love my new road 2 bike, not only a thing of beauty but a pleasure to ride.

Fantastic geometry and feel out on the road - when you stand up on the pedals with your hands on the hoods the bike just moves forward - there's no lag - just instant power from the 853 tubing. The disc brakes inspire confidence without being 'snappy' and the bike arrived home in a box perfectly set up with the gears working with real precision; all I had to do was put the front wheel on and tighten the handlebars. Its taken a few rides to get my saddle position right; but now that I have it feels great. I was worried that the 700 x 30 tyres would make the bike feel 'heavy' when accelerating, but they certainly don't and they absorb all the potholes and cracks in the road. Very happy owner here. Brown saddle and bar tape look great on lunar sand too!
