Yeah gutted I didn't get a go on it. Been contemplating one for next year but would like to obviously try out different sizes etc.
I'm sure the bike will be lovely to ride, but I was just very surprised when I saw how small it was. I said "so it's a small, yeah?". Who knows!
Yeah, I've got 1.5 deg offset.
It looked really small, cockpit, wheelbase, height - the whole lot.

Here is the other mod, that I am now currently trying:
I've replaced the oil seal...
