I sold my EM Strada last fall after suffering an injury and knowing I wouldn't be able to ride for some time. It was hard to fathom not seeing or being able to ride a bike while rehabbing. I'm my own worse patient so there were days I wanted to jump on the SS/FG and just go but I had to give it time. Well, that time finally arrived and perfect timing it was since Lynskey was having their sale. I missed the Helix I had sold last summer and so I went ahead got another one, pre-built with Rival AXS 2x12. I had to swap out the FSA compact bar and went with my go to handlebar which is a 3T Superleggera and shortened the hydraulic brake lines as well. Still waiting for the Ciclovation bar tape, KMC X12 DLC black chain and PZero 30c tubeless tires. In the meantime, fresh of the rollers and ready for its shakedown ride tomorrow morning.
