My Noah has arrived
It's taken a long time but it is here at last and I've spent the week making all those little minor adjustments... as well as cutting the seatmast, centimetre by centimetre.
Quite nerve-wracking to take a hacksaw to a few thousand pounds of carbon fibre.
It's a lovely thing. Feels great - very stiff, I can really feel the difference. And it really seems to be happiest rolling along at 40+km/h.
I still sweat though. Obviously the main reason to spend all that money on a bike is to confirm that it's me who is slow, no matter what I ride !
The details:
Size 58cm.
Super Record 11sp
Eurus wheels - will be tubeless but they were sent without the right valves
Brooks Swift titanium saddle
3T carbon bars
Planet X 12cm stem
The foils in the forks - also in the rear.
Still has a Chorus cassette and Record front derailleur, to be replaced.
