On similar lines but with a Rohloff
Have you weighed it yet? Mines just over 37lbs - hard work on the climbs but 😆 on the decents.

mine is just about 35lbs.
Took it for its first blat tonight, just a short one, but it is sooooo flattering. I only rode it for 30mins but found myself dropping stuff I wouldn't dare hit on my other bikes.

I think I might end up having an accident before I stop to have a word with myself...

Awesome 😀

Nice. I test rode the original Gspot for a few days in the north of Scotland, great bike. Like Snaps says hard on the ups but great on the downs.

Funnily enough when I built up my new GSpot the first comment was from my GF who said "brown saddle, really?"!

Snaps, how does it work with the Maverik forks up front?

Its works well, I only put them on while I was looking for something beefier after a deal on some Lyrics fell through but I'm very pleased after riding them.
