Well, she's here. I spent last night putting bits together, and cooing over her.

I popped out for a quick 4km jaunt round old town, including Eastcott hill, just to see how she handles compared to my Triban.
Before I start, I'll preface by saying "I do love my T3, a great work horse that got me into roadbiking". But good grief, there's such a difference between the two.
When standing on the pedals there's no "drag" in between strokes/stamps (that makes sense, right?)
The Di2 system is really really crisp.
25mm wheels do seem a lot more cushioning.

I'll get pics up when I've got the saddle up to the right height, and I've ridden her in anger.
