At 70 pushing 71 before this one will be built out I find the Gunnar not relaxing to ride, it’s fun it’s quick but I need to focus all the time which takes some of the joy out of longer rides. I work at a bike shop but couldn’t find a frame that gave me what I wanted that didn’t come as a complete bike. I considered a Defy with 105 where I could pull the groupset and sell it but that didn’t really appeal to me. This was announced it was available in my size the frame price was reasonable so I pulled the trigger.
The only challenge I foresee so far is that I may have to use a bbinfinite bottom bracket since it appears Campy is slow to get their T47 86 Ultra Torque cups to the states.
