I think you'll be safe, not many thieves will have long enough legs to ride it

Did my first proper road ride for a while this morning, 48 miles round trip out to my favourite cafe and back again, apron 1200ft climbing each way. Managed 18.3mph average on the outward run, which I'm pretty happy with

That's nothing. There's a whole centimetre of seat post left before the max extension line.I think you'll be safe, not many thieves will have long enough legs to ride it

In case you weren’t quite sure just how ridiculous professional grand tour riders are...

Riding a Brompton with a power meter.
I don't understand it because it's in some archaic units that no real cyclist uses.

I make it two and a half grand at Tredz, but still wtf?

Seems fair enough for a well spec’d carbon XC bike.

For pottering around a local country park with your boyfriend on his ~£500 bike..?

Look out, he's got a gnu!
Gotta spend your money on something...
It was that or spend money on Marty I guess.
Yeah, it’s as light as a feather. Probably overkill for what she’s going to use it for right now but we’ll be doing more trails in the future.
Comparison between her old bike on the right and new one:
And with mine - she's gone for a smaller frame size due to her height (otherwise I’d have tried to pinch hers
)

That's a really decent looking bike Marty. Make sure she keeps it safe and gets a suitable lock.
I've only just discovered this thread by the way (after being on U75 for nearly 11 years).

Level her saddle, looks a bit high at the front.
It's a fucking lovely bike, utterly ludicrous for a beginner, but lovely. Hope she enjoys it.

No lock will keep that bike safe.

We’ve just been out for a blast around the country park and she kept up way better than on her old bike.
She even got up a very steep hill for the first time that you’ve got to get out the saddle and move your weight over the handle bars.
Got home and it had a few specks of mud on it so she’s washed it all down

High enough I think... Well, maybe not a tree. But a lot of trails where I ride (Peaks) feature loose, sandy dirt with rocks of all sizes. Be less inclined to get it for hard pack soil type trails, but yeah, I think even a minor off could cause significant damage.

Fantastic handling skills but constantly microseconds away from permadeath. (And to be boring, not exactly helping to promote the cause of city cyclists)
Wonder if he is still alive ?
Ditto the camera person trailing him
