Maiden Speedvagen voyage. Did a 30 mile(ish) ride out to Manor with our bike group this morning (Benjamin, Glenn, Michael, Pete, Mino and Dustin). Nice rolling hills. The traffic got a bit heavy and the chip-seal was really pad in parts. Still, it was a nice ride. And I gotta say, Mino is fast - especially for a 14 year old. ¡Salud!
The new bike handles well - pretty neutral - accelerates and descends nicely. The bottom bracket is stiffer than my ti Crown Jewel, which you can really tell when you're out of the saddle. The new Dura Ace group took a little getting used to, as I did try to reach for the phantom thumb levers more than once. The 11-28 rear cassette offered a nice, wide gearing range. Overall, I'm pretty happy.

What riding up the only big hill of the day was not enough, you have to take a picture too
