Collected the bike yesterday and it was still to tall for me even they they had reduced the seat by 30mm. In the end I had 4 mechanics standing around the bike discussing the best thing to do. So they lowered the suspension and forks - which apparently means it is now race ready(?) and I was off. I left my car there and drove home straight away before I lost my nerve. I chose a route away from town centres as it was 6pm and rush hour so ended up doing 61 miles mostly on motorways!

It was wonderful!
