The 'uncomfortable one'? How so?
Feels really stretched out, like I'm laid on top of it . Weight on my wrists. It's as if I have no idea how to sit on it. You know...uncomfortable.
The 550 is essentially the same frame and is very comfortable. I don't get it. I think it's a great looking bike and I really like it. You would think having two other very similar frames I would know how to set it up and make it work for me....
I've moved the seat forward about 30mm since posting. We'll start there.

Yep, I know that feeling: too stretched, too low. Not comfy. Isn't the 550 a suspension-corrected frame whereas the other one isn't, though?

21°C and a lovely late September afternoon, so it was a road ride to Sandwich and back this afternoon. I'm still getting better at this road biking malarkey but this was the first road bike ride for three weeks. I was even vaguely aero-ish for, ooh, all of a couple of hundred metres or so. Mainly, though, a decent ride just felt good for mind, body and soul. It's good to be alive.
A couple of photos from Sandwich:
And a couple as I was heading toward the sinking sun:

Your nose looks a little high, maybe level it off a bit for added comfort.

It looks it in the photo; I haven't noticed it in the flesh. I'll double-check that though. Thank you.
Just a few shots from a climbing trip up Curbar Wednesday, strange weather.
Also came face to face with an Adder, never seen one in real life before. It was on the path and wanted to come the way i was approaching from, it tried to climb over a rock but couldnt quite make it, so i backed off and let it come towards me, which made me back off a bit more, and then just a little bit more, just to make sure. It did not look happy and after it had slipped off into the grass at the side i was very wary about walking by in case it was waiting to ambush
too amazed to think to take a picture.

A few from a ride today, just a short steady one, hip is not 100% yet, was resting it but sitting around doesn't help it much either.
Just local loop, quite a few out on bikes today, though it was sunny and nice and warm.
