And I have shaved 3mins off of my total time and increased my avg speed and cadence. So if someone in the future is wondering whether they should make the upgrade from alloy to carbon? I say JUMP
That is a beautiful looking bike, but quite possibly you would have achieved and felt the same way with the aluminium version of the Sirrus.
