My new bike. Not a black one, as I’d expected, but what the heck. I can always paint it another colour if I fancy.

I have taken an exploratory ride to the end of the road and back. I think the saddle height is about right, but I can’t undo the handlebar rake adjustment nut. It may have to wait for the 6-week service.

I bought this from Cycle King in Rochester. If you find one near you, I recommend them. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful.
