Still rides great!
Hey, I'll be the first one to admit I know nothing about road bikes but I really do believe that this bike is great. I did two slightly over 30 mile rides so far. My average speed was 18.44 and the average time was 1:38:00. I stood on mostly every climb and the bike shifted like a DREAM. I don't even know if these are good times/distances for a road bike but I felt like I was flying! I was reading other posts about people doing 60+ miles an hour but I totally don't believe it. Their instrumentation may have said 60 plus but nfw. I'd be more interested in how fast people are going on elongated flat surfaces. I'd guess 40 ish and not for a long time either. Also, the F75 is fantastic at turning sharply at speed. Hugs the road. It's a great bike to shift while standing too. Road biking is certainly about the rider though more than the bike, just like great golfing is in the swing, not the clubs. I'd like to become good at this rode biking thing. I'm getting addicted for sure. Probably helps mtb a lot too. Gonna try that again in the fall. Let me know when you get your bike and maybe we can go together man!
