First impressions from the 15km/9mi ride home from the bike shop:

- Noticeably lighter than the Giant Roam and Escape I have in my collection (almost feels like a 'road bike' in comparison, despite being almost marketed as a 'gravel bike')
- Found myself 'running out of gears' on the flats/downhill. A slightly bigger front chainring would make the bike much better IMO
- Brakes are underwhelming (although not really a concern for me, as I generally need more help speeding up than slowing down)
- Aesthetically it is a very pleasant bike to look at. The colour scheme and reflective paint around the logo really make the bike pop.

Should be a great little bike for getting to the train station and hitting up the bike paths around town.
