Nice one. I looked at the Quantum 2 beginning last year and was talked onto the Cadent 2. Which has been (and still is) great - but I've changed from a chameleon to a snake, pretty much. So now a Quantum would be better. sigh…
Great bikes. Enjoy. Post pics. Its red/black and white by memory?

So when do we get to see it in the flesh - are you coming on any of the rides 'down south' over the weekend?

i finally picked up the new bike and took it for a quick ride this evening. felt very nice. there is a difference in the smoothness compared to my last bike. i thought the tyres might have been a bit flat, so noticable was the effect- but they were nice and pumped up. the electric gearshift is quite cool. definately want different gearing though. 39/23 isn't what my little chicken legs are made for!
looking forward to the ride on sunday.

39/53 is the same ratio I have. you'll get used to it. looks like an amazing bike Simon. congrats mate. enjoy it.

thank you. the 39/53 i can deal with, but it only has 23 as the largest rear sprocket. fine for strong people, i'm sure, but i have the muscle mass of a 10yr old girl(when compared to a regular fit adult male)
i was told that a 25-11 would work without needing a longer chain, but not a 27-11. correct?
