My New Ride

[Mista Preston]

So for those that know me, know that I have saved long and hard this year, dreamed of different machines, procrastinated test rode, dithered, test rode, dithered some more then got a proper fit a couple of weeks back and made up my mind.

So here she is. My new additions a Spesh Roubaix SL Pro. I took it out in anger this evening just for a quick spin and I was massively surprised as the difference of riding carbon v’s alu. Its quick, very quick and climbs well but mostly I was very surprised at the road buzz it cancelled out oh and it weights 7.4kgs

I took a quick couple of snaps but will do some proper ones later with a better write up.

i reckon it was your bikes subliminal messages that made me get one in the end. I must say I was beginning to think i would never buy a new bike

There must be a law against leaving a cliffhanger like that?
