Initial impressions are great, much faster than my 2019 Q45. Shame I didn't wait for a year with the frame, would have saved me time & money trying with the FM calipers, but it is what it is

That is a great looking bike with ALL the bells and whistles. How do the hydraulic brakes feel? I've been thinking a little about switching to flat mount disc brakes with adaptors for my V20 but didn't see any good solutions for the post mounts currently on mine.

I have a green 2020 S40 frame. Still waiting for components. The vicarious builders must wait.

you know it .

waiting is hard. Was that a truck or postman. ........ disappointed

Patience how

 

[Frito Bandito]

Now is as good a time as any to put a coat of wax or two on the frame

Truck or postman? Aeroplane actually. All the way from Australia. I managed to nab the last Microline crankset in the universe from an Australian shop. There are some on ebay but they are square taper. The only other one is in the hands of the thieves.

@Frito Bandito is right.

Thanks everybody

@Frito Bandito
The pads haven't bedded in properly yet, so I can't judge them still. The modulation I feel already and it's great. Haven't ridden it on hilly terrain yet, so up until now did very little braking, slowly recovering form a knee injury.

I know how it is, hang in there Mine has taken long, but it's been worth the wait
