550mi and 68,000' of elevation gain later and it's fair to say this bike is everything I had hoped it would be. I had Rob model the geo similarly to the SL6 Tarmac I had and absolutely loved but with some slight tweaks to better suit me. It climbs so nicely, and the descending is dreamy but admittedly I wasn't pushing the limits on it just yet. While staging for a photo I got distracted talking to another cyclist when the wind caught the bike and blew it over, leaving a small scratch on the TT, but I guess that just means I'm free to ride the hell out of it now...

The first scratch/dent are always the most painful.

Love the colour, if others in my family had not insisted on green, I would have done my repaint all purple.

Do you feel like the handling and performance are similar to the SL6? Was your SL6 disc or RB?

très incroyable

Also: please edit the thread title to show "English" so this doesn't get buried.

Lovely color! An English is in my wish list. That bike has already lived a good life - Stelvio, Gavia & Mortirolo!
