First ride impression:
Rides smoother, not sure why. Slightly longer wheelbase, improvements to aluminum and crabon fork technology?
Seemed a little twitchy at first when pedaling out of the saddle but by the end of the ride my brain acclimated and seemed ok. Feels like I am riding a horse now instead of a pony. When I am on the tops it feels much more upright. It will take a while to get used to the compact bars. It seems like when I am on the drops it is about the equivalent of riding on the hoods on the old bike.
Bottom line is the lower half feels dead on but the upper body needs work. I think I am stretched out enough but might need to lower the bars by taking out spacers. (slam the stem!) The saddle is now level as are the bars. Probably the only thing left to do is lower the bars.
Here is the bike with all my accessories on it and after adjustments made.
tl;dr
Smooth ride, need work on upper body comfort.
