Just pressed go on my cyclescheme one - first new road bike ever for me 🙂 Excited is an understatement!!

Clearly no one shares your excitement Rob..
😉 😳
.......thinking about it.....if i sell my genesis soon i'll get one!
I have ordered one too, pretty excited. should be here in a couple of weeks I guess.
It's arrived.... looks good, feels quite heavy but I expected that. Brakes are rubbing which is a bit disappointing, not set up well. Still, looking forward to riding it hoe from work on Monday.
Here it is by my desk:

Currently unavailable...
They do look lovely.
@fedaralski
I managed to find it via Google, just seems strange they removed it from the site navigation, and don't list a reason for unavailability...i.e out of stock etc.
I was tempted to take a punt on a small one to replace a Boardman CX which I am not 100% sure about. Mute point if they are not available.
Is 33" inside leg long?
seatpost look bent
its just the profile at the top
Strange. After the Rival equipped bikes vanished from the site, they have now re-launched, but with Tiagra, for £800.
Worse groupset with better wheels
Wheels must have been really pap on the Rival bike, then.
Deore hubs
Render missing from stone wall. Climber plants need trimming back. Moss needs eliminating.
Nice bike.
Liking the look of this. I'm in the market for a new winter bike and the discs make this a very attractive option for the descents I have to do on my commutes!
Does it come with a carbon fork or alloy?
I think it's steel.
Anyone know what sort of tyre clearance we're talking?
28mm's fit in with loads to spare
Tenner says it will be in the classifieds within 2 months. 😀
can't its on cyclescheme and would be a dead man if i did that!
Pah!
Rob, loking at getting one as the winter commuter / hack bike.
Couple of q's,what is the weight for the complete bike? also , what is the actual biggest tyre size ( thinking cyclocross style)anyones squeezed in there?
Cheers.
pics to show front and rear - got conti 28mm tyres in there
weight is about 24lb-ish
Any more thoughts on how it rides? I am seriously considering one after my Croix de Fer was stolen recently. Looking for a solid commuter / tourer / child carrier etc. I have to say the Croix de Fer was quite heavy but great otherwise.
love it in every way!
Thanks Rob. I wanted to put 25mm tyres and the Mach 1 rim is 27mm wide so not ideal. What size are your tyres?
PS In fact I noticed you alreay mentioned that, doh! 🙂
