second thoughts

Just completed my first rodawest ride with a 8.5kg alu bike. The ride was so so bumpy, acclerations felt sluggish compared to my previous ride

I tend to miss my carbon frame, its both stiffer and more comfy. Wasted it have a shallow head angle and a long wheelbase, if not i would have kept it.

This scott geometry is much better, out of saddle surges felt more controlled.However ride is very bumpy. I wonder if the BMC streefire would be that bad too....

I am seriously wondering if the bmc with ultegra 6700 would be sub 8kg...., remembering my previous carbon bike was only 7.9 kg
