Reached a big birthday last year and was thinking about the friends and reles who hadn't made it this far, so with the families help I treated myself to a new bike. 
Well who meeds a watch or golf clubs when you can have one of these?
Build highlightes are:
Kuota carbon frame
SLR wheels
Sram X0 11 speed drive train
Fox Float Kashimas
Sram DB5 brakes
Bontrager XXX finishing kit
Vittoria Saguro tyres 2.2 [F] 2.0 [R]
9.2 Kilos before sealant.
It could really do with clipless pedals but my knees have other ideas. Not to sound like a marketing blurb but It climbs like a goat and descends on rails.
So perfect ride then - er no, I did look at the gearing charts before but lower gearing [i.e. 2X10] would hurt less on long [2 hours +] cimbs?
So be honest with me now, should I have stuck out for socks and aftershave?
