Looking to Upgrade from Domane

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Congratulations.

Next month, why not get a custom bike? Steel or titanium.

Great bike!

My wife is a dentist as well. I always tell her if she wants 'X', she needs to put more crowns in. I laugh,thinking it's a pretty funny joke and she doesn't see the humor in it! Enjoy the new ride.

Congrats! That's a sexy bike. Ride her like a rented hooker (if you will excuse the tautology).

Congrats! Great choice - how do you like it so far? Really slick build - 100% internal cable routing. Where's the Di2 computer?

Thanks! Sweet Sweet ride. Super smooth on those ENVEs. Feels way faster than the Domane. Very lively. Need to get used to how responsive it is on downhills. It doesn't feel as stable on my (relatively) fast downhills, but I'll get used to it. But I was looking for a more lively bike. First ride was very windy, had a constant breeze of 13 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph. Definitely felt those gusts hit. Nothing crazy but would not want to be one handed on the bar drinking from the bottle when one hit. The wheels felt amazing. Running them tubeless and they really changed the feel of the bike. They soak up much more road chatter than the temporary wheels I was riding on. Did 20 miles at around 16.9 AMPH with strong headwinds. Good ride for me.

The battery is inside the downtube. The charging point and controller is inside the end of the bar.

How's the tire fitment in the back with the 28's Do you notice any rubbing or debris getting stuck and scrapping against the curved seat tube?

Cheers!

No issues at all. No rubbing or scraping. It is my fair weather bike so never have to deal with mud or debris.
